I know what you mean, sites like this are imformative while alot of other forums are just for humorous entertainment. I'm shamefully guilty of times of egging on folks a bit at dpreview.com when they get all brand crazy and such. I even have my own personal stalker over there who get greatly offended everytime I post about the differences I see with the two different brands I shoot. As a photographer I love to hear about other equipment as their all just tools for getting the picture but so many just don't see it that way. Heck I switched from Minolta to Canon so that I would have a better tool to shoot my birds in flight. Never really gave a thought to any specific brand when switching, just picked the best body for the job that I could afford.
