[QUOTE="RON_RIP, post: 795526, member: 1140"] Been checking out the dialogue on some other photo sites. I know, it is hard to believe but there are other sites. Could not get over how rude and insulting some of the posters get with each other. Not to mention how much bad information and political rants that are allowed. They don't appear to have any effective moderators. I can do political rant with the best of them but photo forums are not the place for them. One of the most egregious posts I encountered was someone telling a newbie that their news D3300 was not a good camera and they would not do well with it. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? I do not know anything about the D3300 and probably never will. But this much I know; all modern Nikon dslr's are light years removed in features than dslr's of even a decade ago and any person with a decent lens and a good photographic eye will be able to coax great images from them and who in their right mind would attempt to discourage a new recruit to our ranks. So I will stick with Nikonites, a community of devoted camera buffs who openly advise, share with, and encourage each other. And I am ready and willing to contribute if necessary to keep this site open, although I probably won't buy one of the t-shirts. [/QUOTE]
