Nikon D70 issues/questions Vs. Canon
Dear experts,
I've always used Nikon, and have a number of FE and FM cameras, and whole bunch of fixed focal length lenses. I took my equipment to the store the other day, and noticed a few issues. The focusing screen in that D70 was just a matte/Fresnel. There was no split in the middle where you can focus by lining up two lines together. And it's hard to tell in the small viewfinder if the picture is in focus. The other thing I noticed is that the viewfinder screen is smaller. I'm older now, and it seems I need my glasses to focus through there. And, in the catalog, there is no diopter (?) correction for the D70. They have some for other Nikons, but not the D70. So, this brings up the question, if there is any real advantage to buying a Nikon digital so that I can use my old fixed manual focus sharp lenses, if I can't focus them. I could buy used Nikon autofocus lenses if I bought the Nikon. But then I could just buy used Canon lenses too if I bought a Canon. I understand that Canon has brought out a newer camera lately. Does anyone know how it compares on these issues? Does it have a diopter? Does it have different screens? How does the Canon compare in any other area that you think is significant? Advantages? Disadvantages? Thanks a lot |
