I think everybody's got this whole camera body thing all wrong. :) I have
truly found the secret for respect (yeah, right ...). When I first started
using my ZX-5n with an AF280T at school functions, I noticed that parents
with larger cameras (like Rebels and N60s) seemed to feel free to jump in
front of me while I was trying to do my job. I then ended up having to do a
little pushing and shoving, because these were the same people who would
have complained to my publisher if their little darling's face wasn't in the
paper.
I gave this dilemma some thought, and I decided that I didn't need a larger
camera -- I just needed a larger FLASH! It was an epiphany! I actually
needed another anyhow, so I shopped and shopped until I finally bought a
Sunpak handle-mount potato masher. Now when I enter the gymnasium, they
respectfully can't get out of my way fast enough. And I now have a good,
powerful flash that works with literally every camera we own. Not only do
people not notice what it's strapped to, they are somewhat frightened by it.
:))
In other words, gentlemen: Size really does matter ...
