I never implied that Canon was/is a perfect brand. In actuality I much prefer many aspects of a Nikon than Canon, but I won't get into that.

My point is that with almost every of your post in the Canon EOS threads it's always something about Sony has this, Canon doesn't, come join us etc. It's bordering "fanboyism" which I believe is prohibited? I don't have to go search up for your posts and quote them but...really. Why is it that some people have to try so hard? I remember once seeing someone (presumably a Sony user) putting something like "I don't support the popular brands and I'm proud to be a user of the underdogs, I'm a proud Sony user" or something in his signature. I can't really understand the point in making such a statement, one's own insecurity?


Oh does anyone know how much a 1D Mark II N can go for nowadays? I rarely see one for sale, if ever.

Heh, descending into the darkside again will mean divorce papers being served to me so i guess ill stick around for a bit

I jst need to get used to the mighty slow AF of the 5DII

erk sorry... missed that part... wargh... must be put alot investment in those kind of thing... then again.. I need to improve my skill once I can take great picture then can buy a more professional camera hahaha... even with 550d I still sucks

I'm a night kind of person... so thats why I'm craving a better iso control camera... then again it is not cheap as one would think

Reporting in, first time 60D user here...

sila beri tunjuk ajar...

sheesh. telling people what brand A have and brand B does not will make me a fanboy? its all facts. what do i get from promoting a certain brand? they will pay me or something?

dont just reporting in here.... gives some juices from the 60d lad! come on!

Haiyooooooooo the 1D is not using crop sensor to give more focal length la. Go read up properly regarding crop n FF. The reason why Canon use 1.3 crop on the 1D is because that is the limit for shooting at 10fps. If it was a FF sensor it would result in ghosting. The big sensor cannot discharge quick enough. Current technology does not allow Canon to go bigger than 1.3x at 10fps.

my bad. thanks.

ahhh... and I thought it was because of the expensive vs. people demand... so let say I like a dark scene with high iso and FF which camera suits me?

Use the center point. That 5D2 center point is faster than even my 1D.

@Comradez

The only Canon FF DSLR cameras are the 5D or 1Ds series cameras.

Take your pick.

planning to buy flash?

Just like to ask, how about for Nikon? Both D3 and D3s have 9-11 fps right? But I don't understand why 9-11. LOL.. Not an exact figure..

Editted: Just do some comparison of 5dmk2, 1dsmk3, d3, d3x, d3s. Issit because of the mp of the cam?
