Canon is not dead. Laughed

[someguy6481]

canon is ripping off their customers with focusing problems on the 1D Mark III, 5D Mark II, with £5000 + L range lenses that have to be re-calibrated right out of the box and that god forsaken "error 99" that even 1d Mark III users experience is offensive.

Canon's days are already numbered and Nikon has already dethroned them with the D3 and D3x, looks like either Sony / Minolta or Olympus will challenge Nikon. I am impressed with Sony's and Olympus's offerings already.

@someguy6481 >implying oly lenses can even compare to L-series.

@someguy6481 yeah? like oly wont make any new slr after the e5

Have you had the chance to shoot with the 5d mII? Yes it the autofocus is slow, but I have gotten great BIF and sport shots. Don't read and believe everything on the internet, try it out for yourself.

Boys, boys, boys - It's nothing about speed. Seriously. Yes it's important to have good gear but it's also how fast your finger is on the shutter button. how well do u compose an image and much more than mere settings. U can have the fastest camera in the world and still miss a shot

@someguy6481

True the "pro" 5D mII has less AF points than Nikon's midrange D90

Dam, they should let you write more here :)

Also canikon doesn't even have something that's called pixel mapping :)..you probably must pay thousends to have that , on a pro body. Otherwise you're screwed, you must go for support. And so on, you don't even have CF cards on entry and medium ranged canikons. I got it in any olympus, as I got settigns that you don't even know they exist if you don't get yourself an $3000 canikon. And that's photography, lately. Olympus dslr lacks filming for now, but should be on the way.

Otherwise we're arguing on marketing ads and it looks stupid, really. I used them all to know the difference and believe me, if i need to make great picture, without braking the banks, i go with olympus. If i wanna look stupid and from the crowd, I take canon and shot mediocre shots and pay a lot on quality lenses. Plus carry gear that's 2 times heavier and when dust settle on sensor i pay for cleaning and so on.. pay. Now what do you prefer, depends on you.

I'm not a fanatic but I hate when i see how canikon throw shit at their competition and try to give the impression that they're the only options on the market. You will be amazed if you'll stop believing all they say. Olympus glass is better, pentax glass is the same as canikon, just cheaper and that are facts. Olympus has stabilization on all lens and the best zooms, so faster shutter speeds, no need for big iso. You need to know photography, to know these things, really.
