We just interviewed for an IT job at our University and I was on the search committee. Only ONE candidate emailed us back to say thank you for taking the time to meet with them and interview them. They appreciated meeting us, etc...
Guess who got the job? Most of the IT folks who interviewed had the same skill sets. It's the people skills that are lacking. One of the best things you can do is buy a book about interviewing and what to do/not do.
What everyone here seems to be missing is that the camera has a full-frame chip without any magnification factor. As a photojournalist, it is a real pain to not be able to use my wide angle lens as wide as I would like. My Canon 1D has a magnification factor of 1.3, which is pretty good. Many others are 1.5 (take your 17-35 lens and times it by 1.5 and you get a 25mm-52.5mm lens) which isn't wide enough in many situations.
