Last week I began a part time job shooting high school sports. Its for company that does portraits for yearbook, class picture, etc, etc. Not a bad gig, mostly work in afternoon few days a week. All i'm required is to take the team picture and then action shots while they play, none of that cookie cutter sport portrait stuff. (bleh)

At one football game, I happened to be standing next to this woman, awhile later a man i assume to be her husband with a huge camera comes up. Out of the blue she remarks to me: "You need a REAL camera like this!" eehhh!? but I didn't make any reply. I took a harder look at what the man had. It was a nikon D2Hs(http://www.dpreview.com/articles/nikond2hs/) with the 80-400mm lense. Thats a $4000 body thats only 4 megapixels and shoots 8 fps. I didn't have the heart to tell her my D300 is 12 mp and can shoot 8 fps with the extra grip. The lense is also supposed to be slow to focus and really bad for sports. Its alot like owning a Hummer, its huge and expensive, but doesn't serve much practical purpose.
