    I like to a little bit of everything, but I don't really like shooting people. People are a pain in the ass to deal with.

    I would say I mostly shoot cars, landscape, architecture and sports.

    Yeah I hear a lot of good things about them, and when I say they are pricey I mean I am just broke. They are actually very reasonably priced

    Haha. It seems that they may be unreliable, don't have as many features (obviously)
