Canon 10d or Nikon D70.
I am swithching a dozen sports and portrait photographers from film to
digital. I shoot the Canon digital SLRs and enjoy the technology. Are there any real reasons why to choose the 10d over the D70? What are the pros and cons? The Nikon rep praises his hardware as does the Canon rep. Can any users help me? I know they are not apple to apple - but thats why I need to discover users experiences. Thanks in advance - please email responses to |

Canon 10d or Nikon D70.
I have the D70 and have used it successfully in portrait work. It is not
as good at action shots. YMMV, but I would look beyond the D70 for sports coverage. For portrait, you'll be very pleased with D70 images.

Thanks in advance - please email responses to You'll get all kinds of responses to this but the truth is that the cameras are very close to each other and either (handled competently) will give good results. I would think the deciding factor would be what equipment (specifically lenses) you already have. If you have compatible Canon lenses, go with Canon. If you have compatible Nikon lenses, go with Nikon. On the other hand if you are looking at equipment for a "sports shooter" maybe you should really consider the Canon 1D MkII. It is a real "machine gun" for rapid sequence photography, assuming you have the budget of course. Drifter "I've been here, I've been there..." |

What are the pros and cons? The Nikon rep praises his hardware as does the Canon rep. Can any users help me? I have shot and owned both and I have switched from 10D to D70. My reason was that the D70 is significantly faster in image review, switch on to ready and max. no. of shots per second. The way I shoot, these things matter to me. The way I live doesn't give me enough money to afford the Canon 1D Mark II - the obvious choice given my interest, my (small but existing) investment in Canon glass and perhaps my history. The other pros and cons don't really matter to me. Both had their issue of AF backfocusing. The 10D has cleaner images most of the times but is significantly more likely to blow highlights (typical Canon metering) whereas the Nikon is more likely to underexpose (typical Nikon metering) - in my digital darkroom blown highlights are evil, slight underexposure is tolerable/correctable. It's easier to identify good Canon glass (L logo) than it is to identify good Nikon glass (price ticket). If you are into medium to long range tele lenses, I think Canon has the better options. |
