As I’m standing there thinking to myself that (1) camera’s rarely take lousy pictures and (2) it’s more about the skill of the person holding the camera and their ability to know the functions of said camera.

I admit, I’m a bad person when i comes to learning the functions of my many cameras. I’m allowed, I’m a busy college student. But, considering I’m making a return trip to California at the end of Januray, I shoould at least know the capabilities of my Canon XSi (450D international). But anways, back to the poor Circuit City associate.

So, this guy was like I want a camera that takes good photos in low-light with it out appearing grainy. The associate, points the guy to the higher end Canon 50D (the mid-level dSLR Canon makes). The customer scoffs, staying Canon sucks.

The associate replies: Sir, Canon is the top camera manufacturer in the United States.

The customer says Canon still sucks. He wants a Nikon. The associate points the customer toward the Nikons and they talk about Nikons briefly. Now, not only does the associate sell the guy an expensive dSLR camera, he also sells him a FireDog package that’ll teach the guy how to use his camera.

Too funny.

I wonder if the customer will return to Circuit after the holidays complaining his camera still takes crappy pictures.
