I have found that cameras are like computers, in that most people never use what the camera or the computer can do to its full limits. Of course there are some people who spend their entire lives in front of a computer and learning what it can do and the same with cameras. Then when they have learnt that piece of technology they have bought is obsolete, as another amazing thing is brought out.
Most things now have built in obsolescence, this is true of Pcs and cameras. My belief is simple and basic if it works and takes good pictures, you know how to use it, LEAVE IT ALONE!
The only thing my Canon manual has taught me is a basic understanding of the Japanese language. My new cooker has taught me Italian as the manual is not yet in English.
Although I am getting most proficient at Italian cooking, from the manual which is of course in metric and I do not understand that either!
Seriously I have a Canon 450D and a 550D or Rebel T2i, and both are good at what they do and cheap now. All EOS lenses fit them, so what more do I want! I do not need RAW to put things on the internet.
I have an iMac and some Canons and that will do me.
Sorry not a camera fanatic, just practical.
