Nikon vs Canon and the whole dSLR thing
I just returned from 3 weeks in Europe and Africa.
An informal impression is that Nikon dSLRs significantly outnumbered Canon dSLRs on those of us touristos schlepping these heavy beasties. That really surprised me as my impression has been that Canon outsells Nikon. Most Nikon dSLRs had the 18-200 VR attached and were being carried by Europeans. Although I saw one older Japanese gentleman with an 800mm howitzer hanging from his neck attached to his Canon. I envied the lens but not the neck pain. Despite my lifetime investment in higher end cameras and glass I am seriously thinking that on my next trek I am only going to carry an image stabilized long zoom EVF type that records in raw. Who is going to see the pictures that most of us take anyway apart from friends and family? Personally and aesthetically satisfying results can be had without having to schlep pounds and pounds of gear . . . It may be time to find my old Ebay account number and empty the closet. |

Canon should be totally ashamed of this (and some others too) HP got this basic and absolutely essential thing right in their little digicam that's cheap even for a P&S, so why can't Canon?!! Yes, I know, there's more to the Canon 20D, but w | Mike Henley | Digital Photography | 58 | December 15th 04 05:21 PM |
