This was something I saw on a photography forum years ago. If your not serious into photography you might not understand the jokes implied here but its funny none the less.
Im a Olympus 4/3 shooter.
Olympus owners:
Characterised by a deep seated paranoia and defensiveness, obsessed with sharpness and a desire to be different. Also obsessed with the colour blue. Often found in armed groups, in a circular defensive position with masking tape over any Olympus logo's. Alternative hobbies include razor honing and Apple computers. Favoured occupation, Professional outcast/Blacksheep.
Canon owners:
Spec freaks, obsessed with being bigger/faster/longer. Often overhead shouting "I don't care what I shoot as long as I shoot it fast!". Some signs of deep seated insecurity, guaranteed to get upset if they hear the word "Nikon". Alternative hobbies include playing "Camera Top Trumps" or body building. Often known to wear Canon branded underpants
Nikon owners:
Competition obsessives, often more interested in everyone else's gear than their own. More often than not can be found shooting bats in caves. Despite having the best flash system they often scorn "strobes" as being for wimps. Alternative hobbies include potholing. Will often turn into raging psychopaths at the mention of the words "pixel mapping". Favoured occupation - Police officer.
Pentax owners:
Weather obsessives, can often be found shooting near any large waterfall dressed in wetsuits and laughing maniacally. Obsessed with the colour green and small lenses.
Will turn into raging psychopaths at the mention of the words "zoom" and "SDM motors". Favourite saying "if it ain't raining it ain't training". Alternative hobbies include scuba diving and polar exploration. Favoured occupation - Storm chaser.
Full Frame shooters:
Blur obsessives, they have strong desire to shoot portraits with a single hair in focus.
Favourite word is "equivalence" which they often repeat ad-infinitum. They often walk with a stoop or with their own personal Sherpa. Alternative hobbies include "working out". Favoured occupation - Teacher or Deity.
M4/3's shooters:
Minimalist obsessives, often shoot wearing big coats or cargo pants with re-inforced pockets, they usually drive Fiat 500's or smaller. Favourite holiday destination is Lilliput. Guaranteed to explode at the mention of the word's "Nex" or "large".
Alternative hobbies include Feng shui. Most likely occupation, Microbiologist.
Leica owners:
Status obsessives, often found preening near any other camera users. Obsessed with red dots. Generally not seen using their cameras but usually overtly displaying them.
Often seen raging at the words "cheap", "auto-focus" and "zoom". Alternative hobbies include Art and/or Prestige car collecting. Preferred occupations include Royalty and Lottery winners.
