They are some recreational league players I know.
Thank you for the compliment, Jonny.

I get a little smug now and then. You might not believe me but I'm kind of a cynical jackass at times. I had my camera at a high school basketball game, clicking a few frames. The older gentlemen next to me asked if I was on the school payroll to photograph the team. "No." was my reply.
"You don't do any P.I. (private investigation) work with it do ya?"
"No. I'd need a different lens for that. It's mostly just for fun", I say.
"Well that's an awfully nice camera 'just for fun", he remarked.
"Thank you."
I think some people are so accustomed to seeing tiny pocket point and shoot cameras and phone cameras that when someone brandishes a dslr that does not say Canon or Nikon, they are not sure how to act.

Man you have no idea how many yuppie hipster kids have been getting DSLRs from their parents recently. It's kinda puke-worthy. All of them are of course Nikon and Canon though
