Re: true..I'm talkin' pros use not most people, besides

Hmmmm...well, I own two Leicas and three Nikons, and when I REALLY have to be sure I get the image, I'll grab one of my F2's every time. I'll admit, though, that yesterday, in fact, my 24-year old Nikon motor drive failed while I was on a shoot. And I was upset, until I realized that the thing had lasted 24 years.... Yes, Leicas last like crazy too (Zeiss hasn't built any camera that I know of since the Contarex died in the early 70's), but there's a solidity about Nikon equipment that is reassuring, even if their motor drives are wimpy....

My son, of course, can't understand why any manufacturer would build a camera that would last more than four or five years, and for modern digital cameras, I guess that's true...by 2010 a 20-megapixel camera would probably be obsolete.
