I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire 21 megapixels or only eight?"
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track
myself. But being as this is a .Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III SLR Digital Camera,
the most powerful DSLR in the world, and would blow your head clean off,
you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya,
punk? 

The point is, Callahan, that the mayor's office wants you to start playing
by the book.  Judge a photographer by his or her pictures, not the
equipment, or we're going to have to throw your whole case out again.  

Equipment is not the be all, nor are all non-SLR's automated toys.  If you
believe that, then you're playing the role of a photo snob.  DLSR's are,
IMHO, an odious legacy from a now ancient 20th century analog world of
gears and moving mirrors, only the film has been yanked out and a digital
sensor put in.

All that said, I'll put up with a lot of poor attitude and behavior, even
the type you've shown, if your images are excellent.  So you've got to ask
yourself one question: do you have any pictures on line that might
impress?
Well, do ya ... ?
