  • This is a good video clip showing the apparent speed difference of mechanical spring and electrical solenoid used to close/open the aperture diaphragm.

    Canon, of course, could not foresee in 1980's that fps would exceed 10time in future, and employed elec solenoid.

    Nikon, simply did not change the mechanism from 1950s to maintain the compatibility.

  • the V can take up to 10fps why you haven't?

  • A friend once challenged, "Tell me one thing a film camera can do that a digital camera can't"

    At the time, and on the spot, I couldn't think of a good answer.

    A few days later (being quite thick) it dawned upon me. No digital camera to date can convert a digtal file into a Transparency/Slide.

    Therefore, Andy, if you're listening. Digital cameras can't shoot on slide film. How d'you like dem apples?

    Oh, and you lose all sense of suspense when you shoot digital, but that's by the by.

  • Sharpness isn't what really matters to me personally, but the tonal range and natural grain from film is still quite unbeatable really.

  • @AETrainingDavid97 Funny you're just idiot that didn't know any thing about photography, I just looking on your YouTube account and you're a fool. LOL

  • @felinoaereo Focus-tracking speed and frame-rate are two separate things. You don't need the NP-E2 to get faster focus tracking with the 1v and USM lenses when shooting FAST MOVING SUBJECTS than is available with the F5 + a brick-load of AA batteries + screw-driven lenses like the one pictured here. Yes, the F5 with it's brick-load of batteries can achieve a faster frame rate but only when shooting at fixed focus on a stationary subject. The RISC processor of the 1v just blows it away.

  • As for Nikon, if you have lots of their lenses, I highly recommend the F100 or, if you need pro-features like MLU, a nice used F4 (at least with that body you are given the option of removing the grip rather than lugging a brick around all day for casual shooting)

  • @djs259 Don't buy any film camera, If you're serious D700 is better and will save a lot of money.

  • @hutdockz D700 is fine for most things, but is very expensive and you can actually get better results with fine grain slide films, better contrast, tonal range, and colors, which can be projected on a large screen through a high quality projector for a level of quality that is impossible to achieve with slides made from digital files. If you shoot for prints or just like to view photos on your computer or LCD TV, then I agree with you that the D700 is hard to beat. Slides are superior though

  • Try that same test with a fast moving subject and then let's see how the primitive screw driven motor of that Nikkor 50 f1.4 fares against Canon's superior 32-bit RISC microprocessor coupled with linkage-free USM. We also need to face the fact that the F5 is nothing but a battery eating brick whose time has passed.

  • @djs259 Try that Nikon F5 with a 50mm 1.4 SWM ! NIkon F5 will remain as one of the best camera's ever. It eat's batteries because its motor can drive you home !

  • @TechCrazy The Nikon 50mm 1.4 SWM is slow and of poor build quality compared to the Canon 50 1.4.

    And F5 focusing is still early 90's technology. Fine for most things but does not come close to the Eos 1v for tracking moving objects at high speed with great precision. Again, the slight FPS advantage of the F5 is offset by the fact that it is as large and heavy as a brick. EOS 1v can be shrunken down, and even with the booster pack it is not nearly as unwieldy as the battery laden F5 :-)

  • @djs259 : If you are talking about the AF sensor then yes its 90's. But if you use any SWM Nikon lens its still faster than today's cameras.

    The fast FPS is a godsend for sports and wildlife photographers. Nothing is more important than capturing the moment. Its heavy so it can take the abuse. These shutters are known to go for over 1 million clicks without any issues even though they are rated for 150k.

  • @TechCrazy There is a difference, on the one hand, between overall FPS speed, which is dependent on the sheer force of the motor driving the various linkages and advancing the film and, on the other, *focus tracking* speed, which is where the advantage of the EOS 1v lies over the outdated computer system of the F5. I've heard many reports of poor performance and quality control in connection with the new 50 1.4 SWM to even consider buying one. I don't hate nikon, I have an F100 and TEN LENSES

  • @djs259 : True if you are just using old AF lenses. I have a 70-300 VR and a 50mm 1.8 SWM and this thing flies compared to my D300. Okay I dont know the 50mm 1.4 as i just use the 1.8. These lenses are made in China and i wouldn't be surprised if there are a few that slipped quality control.

  • i love background music lol

  • I'm Nikonian and I love you.
