    Stay with Canon... or take the Nikon plunge?

    if constantly waited for the next big thing, i would never buy. silly approach to life. i bought the best body that is available right now, for my needs, within my budget.

    5D mk2 vs D700... auto focus differences really an issue?

I looked at going to the 7D and whilst it would definitely be an upgrade from my 40D, i dont have any real desire to get another crop frame. i think the comment around trying out the nikkon, not investing too much and trying it out (prior to selling...

    5D mk2 vs D700... auto focus differences really an issue?

    either way im buying a full frame DSLR with a 24-70mm f2.8 lens. the only differences i can see between my options are: - i already have 50mm f1.4 and 70-200 f2.8 canon lenses that i would have to sell off if i switched. - the AF on the 5D is apparently very similar to the 40D i have and the...

    5D mk2 vs D700... auto focus differences really an issue?

    i guess im trying to maximise my dollar - ive learnt from past experiences that buying something that may not necessarily be the "one" im after just means im going to upgrade again very soon! i have had a 40D for around 3-4 years and whatever i buy now will be for a similar time period. price...

    5D mk2 vs D700... auto focus differences really an issue?

    Hi, I've been looking at these two bodies. I'm a Canon user and have been considering jumping across to Nikon. Sticking with Canon will be the easier option but I am concerned that the "slow" auto focus I keep reading about will be an issue (and the Nikon supposedly wins this battle hands down)...

    Stay with Canon... or take the Nikon plunge?

    excellent advice, thanks again to all. i'll jump across to the canon forum and start to look at the 7D a little more. cheers!

    Stay with Canon... or take the Nikon plunge?

    thanks for the replies guys! isnt the 7D and 60D virtually identical? I thought the extra processor was just to help bump up fps and buffering?

    Stay with Canon... or take the Nikon plunge?

    I have a 40D with a number of good Canon lenses... 17-55/f2.8, 70-200/f2.8, 50/1.4, etc. I've been looking at the 60D, but have also looked at the D7000. All the reviews suggest that the D7000 outperforms the 60D in most aspects. I know this sub-forum might be a little biased ;) but can anyone...
