Similarly a recent long-running advertisement in the UK photo magazines for the Canon 300D showed a football stadium apparently full of 300D owners either busily 'chimping' or flashing away at the distant action on the pitch with their standard zooms and built-in flashguns. I don't know what they were trying to say but the message I got was "Canon owners are stupid". Actually I was embarrassed for Canon and I don't even own one! Chris
