I bought a pair of RS-2's and an RA-1 from Dave, as well as having met him in person a couple of times. He is a great seller, treats his equipment very well, and is extremely trustworthy. I have had the phones and amp for several months...

I am actually in the "if it makes them happy, good for them" group. I always thought it was kind of stupid that people get angry that someone who is a poor photographer has a great camera. So what? I look at it like the ugly...

But would you take a 135i over an NSX? That's the real question . I think all these companies are capable of producing killer cameras, it's just for whatever reason, they decided to market themselves in the specific positions that they...

I think you are being a bit flippant. Regardless of how big Sony is, there are obviously a lot of good, talented people in their camera division. As Motox guy and I said before, they brought in the photo imaging section from Konica...
