What's fair?

Just reading on a Nikon forum. Someone said they were a novice and couldn't figure out how to turn on the LCD on the back of their camera so they could compose a shot.

Turns out the person had a new D200. What is a person who doesn't even know you compose through the viewfinder, not the LCD doing with a camera I can't afford after shooting for about 50 years?

Life is not fair. But as someone once told me "'Fair' is where Grandma takes her pickles in the Fall."

It's like watching a young guy go down the road in a new 2007 Dodge Charger Daytona....425 horsepower and not mature enough to know what to do with it. lol Youth is wasted on the young! To quote my german ancestors..."we grow too soon old, and too late schmart"...eh?

I saw a question on a Canon board about why didn't the lens zoom in and out when the poster pressed the zoom buttons on their 400D....

'Twas the subject of much jollity and mirth....

Unfortunately this seems to be something that you get on marque specific boards due to the large numbers of newbies.

That said, we all had to start somewhere.
