Oh my God...most of those people would not know what to do with a camera 
if it fell on them...all they do is bitch and moan about stuff that does 
not make one hill of beans difference to real photography. 

Dust on the sensor shows up when you shoot at really small apertures, 
and unless it is sa huge spot it is normally not even noticable when you 
print it.

I LOVE the way they talk about vignetting like they never heard of it 
before also on the 5D...heck on 35mm chrome a lot of Canon's lenses 
vignetting and you just lived with it...never bothered me.  Of course 
many of them are of the digital age and never shot a roll of film, much 
less chrome, in their lives.

Speaking of Canon, why do they not make a EOS1DIInRS?  I always thought 
the 1NRS sounded like a neat camera, never got one but always wanted 
to...I'd jump on a 1DIIRS quickly.
