a picture of a scenery, at f5.6 your shutter is 1/30. you want to increase your DOP and so you have to increase your f stop maybe to f11. and not the shutter speed my be like 1sec.
I don't believe it! From a F5.6 - 1/30... How could you end up with a f11 - 1sec??? It's more than 3 stops different!!! :bsmilie:
Even if the shutter speed is 1 sec... IS is not going to save your pix for you! IS from experience can only go 2 stops under... E.g.: if a IS lens of 200mm ur shutter speed should be 1/250sec rite? 2 stop under will give you 1/60sec... Even if you have a VERY steady hand... with a 200mm lens... the most you can hand held at 1/30sec...
Hey! Nicholas1986 get ur maths right! It seems to me that you have not got enough practice on you camera... or did you buy a camera just to look cool infront of ur friends?
I believe that nikon has better optics than Canon, but then Canon has better technology than Nikon.
Hmm... is techology so important??? Sure! Techology makes life easier... Techology can also make your average joe into an phD! But techology still cannot compose my pix for me!
Techology like IS, Eye control do helps you in taking your pix... but if your composition sux.... Hmmmm... you are better off with a FM2 or 3... back to basic.... Remember your training young Jedi! and then come and join the dark side!....:devil:
Optics... Hahaha... let me tell all of you something.... Once I showed my Nikon friend a pix... He thought it was so good that it was from a Nikon Lens! Then a Canon friend came along... disbelieving that Nikon len took the pix... "It must be a Canon!" He claims.... But the truth is that I took the pix with my Sigma Lens!! Yes, the Poor Man's Lens! The very Sigma 70-210 F2.8 APO....
In 4R... all pix looks the same.... unless it's a Zeiss or something else... These lens have a very high colour constrast.... and the best part these camera makers do not have much techology in their cameras...
Cheers
