I think you guys should lighten up. The TS was obviously overjoyed with his new camera and just wanted to share with us. It is no different from someone proclaiming to the world he is married. Or having his first baby. Or finding his ideal job. Whatever.
Do Singaporeans have a problem with other people doing well? I think so! I certainly don't see any boasting on the TS's part. Not from my point of view anyway. If you don't like the post, you can always be silent about it. A post with no replies will soon be pushed out of sight.
In fact, if all you who are criticizing him even bother to read the original post. he even posted a review of his new camera on his blog, WITH pictures, AND HD video sample, to boot. Who says he only takes pictures of his new camera?
Besides, this is a gear forum, no? What do you expect people to be discussing? Thailand politics? Greece economic crisis?? That's what the other forums are for - posting and discussing pictures.
Actually, I find the excessive praise and back-patting in some of the posts in the photos forum more amusing than what I see here as heart felt congratulations to someone who has the courage to share his joy to the world.
Let's give the TS the benefit of the doubt that he truly, really wants to share his joy with the rest of us. And besides, you gotta admit, those product shots are not too bad!
