Canon versus Nikon - GoFuckYourself.com

Chillin the Most · 06-14-2006, 04:47 PM

I've been using an Olympus Evolt 300 with a 50-200 ED f/2.8-3.5 Lens. I think I'm ready to jump to the next level with a better camera and more lenses variety

Should I get?

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II
Canon EOS-1Ds or
Nikon D2X

I'm all ears

stickyfingerz · 06-14-2006, 04:48 PM

I prefer nikons, but thats me.

axelcat · 06-14-2006, 04:54 PM

nikon is better

Elli · 06-14-2006, 04:58 PM

I prefer Nikons. I have a friend with a D2X and apparently the controls are much simpler to use on the Nikon body. But there are fans out there of either brand.

I took this yesterday with my Nikon D70

Nice picture

Paul Waters · 06-14-2006, 06:09 PM

Consider a Nikon D200. 95% of a D2X at less that half the price.

Its all about preference like Mac vs. PC

I prefer Canon.

mikesouth · 06-14-2006, 07:54 PM

if im not mistaken the Canon is a full 35MM frame...if so the markII is the best choice unless like me you have thousands of dollars of nikon lenses.

the 35MM frame beats the 24MM everytime quality wise

soonnyyy

tony286 · 06-14-2006, 08:00 PM

it depends if your locked in a lens system, then your choice is made. Other then that its a matter of like, great pics and been taken with both brands. If I could do it again I might of went with Nikon so I could borrow cool lens from Mike

DeanCapture · 06-14-2006, 08:01 PM

Whatever you get - you'll be happy with it

mikesouth · 06-14-2006, 08:04 PM

another thing I might add....what environment will you be shooting in...if you shoot outdoors specially in humidity, the desert or around salt water dont consider anything but the Nikon

if your environment is sterile....your major consideration should be the the size of the CCD 35MM being best 24MM being not as good

SgtStrider · 06-14-2006, 08:21 PM

those are way outta my league

not true about shooting outside a number of national geographic photographers shoot with canons. example http://www.geocities.com/~kenghor/article/ian/ian.htm

reynold · 06-14-2006, 09:41 PM

I'll go with Canon 200D..

woj · 06-14-2006, 10:02 PM

people are responsible for great pictures, not the cameras, unless you have lenses already I don't think it will matter much which one you will get...

The Ghost · 06-14-2006, 10:03 PM

Stick with the Olympus

Ditto. I've seen photographers take better looking pictures with a 1.2 mp personal camera than an amateur with a nikon d70.

You have no idea what you are talking about. If you did you would notice the light and sharpness falloff around the edges of the full frame dslr.

They now have lenses to cover the full gamut with the 1.4 magnification. If there had never been 35 mm and they came out with the non full frame digital, you wouldn't even care. I've have both and there is no difference in the quality of image.

I prefer the canon lenses for speed of focus, but prefer nikon lenses for sharpness. If you're gonna spend 8k on the markII 1ds, you might as well man up and buy a medium format system for about 4k more. It shoots with a higher color range and the lenses are 10 times as good.
