Canon/Nikon any REAL difference????
Don't be a complete bozo: The type of equipment one owns & uses hasn't got the last thing to do with personality traits. Really ? Like Apple ? BMW ? Ralph Lauren ? Hyundai ? Colnago ? Specialized ? Linux users ? Those brands have nothing to do with personality or lifestyle ? I can see a difference between Nikonians and Canonians. Sorry for you if you cant. (Of course not ALL of them, but usually Nikonians are snobs. Its Nikon only, nothing else). Before I got my new camera , I spent a month searching the newsgroups and forums. And I could feel how the Nikonians were so proud of their camera. For some of them, owning an expensive digital camera and showing it to everyone is the fun part of it. Of course like I said, its not true for everyone. Chuck |

I use a Fujifilm A 205 digital camera and a Leica M film camera -- I can be
stuffy about my Leica and practical about my Fuji. Paul Riemerman "Chuck" wrote in message ...

all. Really, gear is the smallest part of the aesthetic equation, a very, very small part. A talented photographer with a Nikon990 will make better images than most of us with a D100. And we see proof of that every day. Anybody (really) interested in photography would visit galeries and exhibitions on a regular basis. If you check the equipment of those truly professional and well done pictures, you'll find mediocre cameras and lenses nobody on the usenet likes (e.g. the standard 28-80 as supplied with a Minolta Dynax 4) In terms of Nikon vs. Canon: that'll be your personal taste. Right now, in terms of entry level DSLR cameras, the Nikon D70 is plainly and simply the better camera. As usual, this will last a couple of months until Canon introduces a new entry level DSLR that will beat the D70. You can't base your decision on this. |

Does (will) one really blow the other away now or in the future, or does it just come down to personal preference? You're asking questions to which the answers can only be purely subjective. There is no objective answer - the Canon lovers, like me, will say Canon all the way, and the Nikon lovers will only say Nikon. I think the Canon camp will claim that there's a better lens choice. |

There is always an exception. At least Nikon has its own 12-24 lens for the D100 and Canon does not have that for their equivalent cameras yet AFAIK. Let us know otherwise. Of course you can use Sigma lenses on both. -- Charles S. Ih 302-831-8173, FAX 302-831-4316 |

Of course you can use Sigma lenses on both. Canon has full frame, Nikon doesn't. You can use the Sigma 12-24 on a Canon, and it's even a full frame lens, unlike the Nikon DX lens. Both systems are still evolving their digital line up though, so and advantages in either direction are likely to be temporary. As a Canon user, I'd like an equivalent to the 10.5mm fisheye, and I think Nikon is currently catering better to the APS sensor size than Canon. However, Nikon have announced they have no intention to go full frame, and I think that's a mistake. I'd like an affordable full frame camera, and I think Canon will get there sooner based on current performance. It took 2 years 8 months to go from a $7000, 4Mp, 1.3 crop mark 1 to a $4500, 8Mp, 1.3 crop mark 2 with lower noise, and lots of other improvements. At that rate of improvement, relatively affordable (say sub $3000) full frame may arrive within 5 years. If Nikon has stuck with the APS sensor, I think they'll be at a serious disadvantage then, and if they go for a bigger sensor at a late stage in the game, they'll have a lot of annoyed DX lens owners. Mike. |

Personal preferences, the D70 does have some better features, but costs more... so you pays your money and takes your choice. -- Jonathan Wilson. www.somethingerotic.com |

How about the noise level at a 200 ISO setting for the Canon verses the

From the sample images at dpreview.com, I can honestly say I don't see a difference in image quality from the 10D to the Digital Rebel to the D70. All fine cameras, and we're lucky to live in an age where they are affordable and reliable. |
