photography said:I would choose canon. I heard on fedmiranda.com or somewhere than most people who use canon won't change system. Furthermore the best optics and the most expensive optics rules. I remembered i saw some where on a Korean website that the world's most expensive lens is the EF 1200mm F5.6L
yeah:thumbsup: superfast AF too..wish a camera could have that:thumbsup:Sandman77 said:for Rich PPL >>>>

Tetrode said:Pick up almost any camera body designed before 1985 and you will know what I mean. You don't need to even read through the manual to know how to use the camera.
One really doesn't need a lot of the functions (included in the camera bodies nowadays) to take good photos - e.g. a gazillion AF points, Multi-segment metering, CFs. Heck, there are still a lot of people using their manual focus camera bodies and producing good work (not forgetting all the people/artists who used cameras before these electronic wonders came out). You don't need the likes of a Canon 1Ds mk II (or whereever is the latest and greatest at the moment) to do that.
As a matter of fact, the more complex the camera is, the more that gets in the way of real photography. I'd bet that half of the functions and thingamebobs that are on cameras nowadays are hardly ever used.

Take a look at the windows in the subject and you'll understand why so many people are faithful to Canon's colour.
The same subject taken from a canon can be sampled from DPreview to. "http://www.dpreview.com/gallery/canoneos350d_samples1/originals/img_3961.jpg"
Kongo said:But I tot Nikon also have multiple AF points, multi-segment metering & most of those CFs mah.. so why is Canon "guilty" of incorporating these but not Nikon leh? :dunno:
Tetrode said:Sorry but where did I say only Canon is guilty?
yes i do mean jpegs straight out of the cam. I feel they require less post processing than Nikon.TMC said:I am seriously mystified here. When people say they prefer Canon`s colors to Nikon`s, do they mean the pics straight out from the camera or the processed pics? I wouldnt know about the WB, I seen pics taken with bad AWB performance by both.
Kongo said:OIC, u mean both r guilty izzit?
Anyway, I think although some can live without these functions, but they do serve good purposes to many others.
For example, for pple used to autofocusing and reluctant to do manual focusing (like me, hehee..), multiple AF points is useful especially when shooting at large aperture with limited DOF. The "use center focusing point, shift and re-focus technique" is not reliable under such circumstances as it will result in OOF quite often.
Among custom functions, there r features like selection of flash syn mode, mirror lockup & AE/AF lock selection etc which I did use at time, think it's not that "needless" lah.
I agree that a camera without these features can take good pics as well, but I think it's like saying that since a piston can kill there's no point to buy auto machine gun or granades. There are events and situations where technology will helps..
Dunno why Canon vs Nikon postings always end up in heated debates & quarrel hor, I think both r good mah..
