Oh sorry, right you are. The flux capacitor was an optional extra, I believe.

I'm guessing not. So you're suggesting people should jump onto the E-system because of a few product differentiators?
|
No that is not what I am saying. If one is to jump they should jump because they will have the choice of smaller, faster and lighter lenses with the same reach as the current 35mm lenses. Also these lenses are made to fit the image circle of the 4/3 system.

This is true there is a risk in everything now days. Just like there is a risk that the 35mm sensor will not be around in the next couple of years.

Canon will almost definitely phase out the 1.3-crop sensor. They will not, however, phase out the full-frame or 1.6-crop sensors. EF-S is pretty much here to stay, but for professional work, you want to take advantage of the entire image circle of the EF lenses. That means a full-frame sensor. I doubt that Canon will be alone for too long.
I for one will be moving up to full frame as soon as it's reasonable to do so.

If the 4/3rds standard used by Olympus takes advantage of the entire image circle produced by the lens, then it can arguably be considered to be "full frame," as well, and the term "full frame" ceases to be a special attribute of only one sensor size. There is nothing written in stone that that a 35mm sized sensor is the only full frame "game in town." In the case of both Canon and Nikon, (from a marketing pov) the purpose of full frame is to allow legacy lenses (35mm) to be used with the digital bodies that are being produced today. In this way, these companies keep their users happy and in their respective camps, without risk of losing them to other camera manufacturers.
As technology develops, the differences in image quality may be negligible and then a smaller camera outfit may be preferred to the larger, bulkier, and inherently more expensive 35mm full frame systems. Are there any differences now in image quality between Canon cameras with different crop factors that use the Digic II processor? I think not, and this has already been discussed here in the forums. The differences between these cameras lie in their speeds, features and body build and not in image quality.
The op would be wise not to jump on the Canon/Nikon bandwagon just because most everyone here is doing so, but only after consideration of his needs and weighing all of the options. Especially at this time, when manufacturers have merged and will be combining their strengths to bring new products to market, that could easily rival and surpass that which Canon or Nikon produces. Olympus has teamed with Panasonic and Minolta with Konica and Sony.
Digital camera technology is still in a formative phase and there promises to be many new technologies in the coming years. Lenses, too, may proliferate from manufacturers such as Zeiss and Leica and provide high quality products for the A-mount, the 4/3rds standard, etc. In fact, the 4/3rds standard is an open standard and the more manufactures that produce lenses for it, the greater the choices will be. So unless the op has a stable of lenses of a particular manufacturer, then it would be advisable to research and consider all the choices before jumping in.

Seems slightly unfair to use the focal length multiplier to your advantage when talking about telephoto lenses then failing to mention it when asking about wideangle?
Do Olympus have a 7mm lens? Yes. Do they have a 35mm camera to put it on? No. |

Either one will take pictures. Both have great features, but it is all about the person behind the camera. You make the difference, not the camera.

| IS on my Minolta enables me to get shots I couldn't get with any other camera. Do Canon/Nikon make stabilised 12mm lenses? 50mm lenses? Don't think so... much of my shooting is done in places where tripods are not allwed. It's also nice to have a stabilised 24-200mm lens which I can also use without the stabilisation on my 35mm camera. |

I agree 100% It is the person behind the camera making the picture. The camera is nothing more then a tool and like most tools some are better then others for any one job. Find your niche in photography and find the best tool for you to fill that niche.

Get the canon. We Nikon shooters are in a class of our own...we don't go out and try to talk people into getting a Nikon...but once you do, you're one of us...good luck in your decision making. ;-)

The Delorean had cool gull-wing doors and a lightweight aluminium body. Didn't make it a good investment. |
I think time travel is a feature that makes it worth the investment. But that's just me I guess.

the classic canon vs. nikon thread!!
personally it boils down to feel! try out all the cameras you're considering (not limiting yourself to canon and nikon) and decide from feel. all of these cameras can take excellent photos. believe me, ive used a canon, and im currently using a nikon (D70) and an oly (E10) as my backup. all these cameras performed well and addressed my needs.
remember its NOT the bow and the arrow.. its ALWAYS about the indian =)
good luck! |
