This Is Why Nikon Rules

This is a discussion on This Is Why Nikon Rules within the Open Talk forums, part of the General Information category; I got this from another forum. It is not meant to be taken seriously. Beware, the language on the clip ...

This Is Why Nikon Rules - 01-11-2007, 07:59 PM


I got this from another forum. It is not meant to be taken seriously.

Beware, the language on the clip is rough.

Actually, I kind of agree with the guy.

Did the guy in the video sound drunk to you? That may have been why he was ranting about Canon, just too boozed up to know better.

Plus he was ranting about a camcorder--and Nikon doesn't make camcorders, I don't think.

It is my understanding that he was talking about a Canon DSLR, at least that is what I was told. You know, perhaps this was not a good idea. If any of the moderators would like to delete this, go right ahead.

This was just my feeble attempt at humor. I certainly did not intend to offend anyone.

I am on a short leash here on TPF and I have no idea where the lines are drawn anymore, so once again, if anyone was offended, I apologize.

I just bought my wife a Coolpix S6. I wonder if I could get her to pose like that.

That looks like venice beach and if you haven't been there he's mild to some people you'll come across there.

I had one person follow me for a while telling me not to take his picture or his soul wouldn't be able to go to heaven.

That is one pointless commercial. Tells me nothing about the camera.

Actually Nikon does NOT make cameras !!
They design and outsource the manufacture to various since the late 80's.
I found this out when I went to Nikon Yokahamma in '88.
I asked them to give me a F4 and then I would accept delivery of their
$1 M XY3I photomask meterolgy tool.
At the time they were Intel's Wafer Fab vendor of choice and dedicated
all their manufacture to semiconductor equipment.

I never got that F4 !!
Part of the reason why I went Canon dslr - lol

As a Fuji owner.... I have grown accustom to those type of encounters. Generally from my friends and neighbors.

They show this in the states too. I've seen it dozens of times. I don't care if it doesn't tell me anything about the camera. Kate's HOT
