"Rudi Cheow" wrote Also, for those with piles of high end glass, the fact that Canon is the ONLY full-frame available means they HAVE to go Canon if they want to keep in line with their long-familiar lens performance and field of view. Only of course if their "piles of high-end glass" happens to be Canon glass, in which case it would be a moot point anyway. Folks with expensive Nikon lenses will sadly have to stick with Nikon, full-frame or not, unless they don't mind shelling out for an equivalent Canon megakit. R I have expensive Nikon glass, and I don't "sadly" stick with Nikon. I gladly stick with them. Cheers, ink |

I have expensive Nikon glass, and I don't "sadly" stick with Nikon. Oops - I think you misunderstood me. My point was that when you have oodles of Nikon kit (especially if it's expensive), it would be uneconomical to migrate to Canon if the reasons weren't persuasive enough for you to invest that much more on an equivalent Canon setup. Even all this vouched-for additional technology that Canon has today would probably not be a good reason enough to migrate, even though a Canon setup may actually be better for your needs and may have been your choice had you been able to start from scratch right at this very moment. I say "sadly" in the sense that sadly we don't have much of a choice - once we've bought into a brand, and especially if we've done so in a big way, it becomes difficult and expensive to move. I'm not saying that Canon kit is better than Nikon kit - I'm just saying that without an industry standard lens interface (which I strongly wished was implemented), as consumers we're all at a loss because of the forced brand loyalty and pseudo-monopoly. And BTW, I am a pure-Nikon user with high-end Nikon glass. R |
