Seeing as how DSLRs are a field of evolving tech with at least as much feelings and rumormongering as 3D-tech, the latter should provide a lot of applicants

Ugh... April Fool's Day + Internet. Makes the day near useless for web surfing, and then you have all the reverberations of misinformation felt the following week.

Today is the 50th anniversary of what the Museum of Hoaxes ranks the No. 1 April Fool's Day prank of all time: the BBC's spoof documentary about Switzerland's "spaghetti crop" harvest.
