There are a number of people on this list who are non-pros. I
certainly don't feel like my choice in camera has anything to do
with inflating my ego. Maybe I don't have the same patience to work
with something that I feel is a limitation for the type of photography
I often attempt, like the E-1. It is not that I did not try to work with it.
Rather I was just not getting what I wanted. I'm sure with more skill
I could have. But why should I struggle with it? to prove what point?
I now have one camera and a few lenses. It does what I need.
Nothing to do with my sense of self. The technology works and
the results speak for themselves.
