QUOTE(hellsoldier33 @ Feb 23 2011, 05:43 AM) Guys, just a question. In the end, what the biggest difference that Nikon and Canon distinguish? The biggest difference is the name/company/brand I believe Nikon plays with contrast, but canon more pure and original. is that true? Really, some people are brand concious and go by brand. The colour, contrast, etc, if you do post processing, most probably it won't matter, besides, you have in camera picture control to adjust it to your liking. Unless you only shoot auto on standard picture control. The main difference is the body design, which is obvious from the looks itself, then the grip, feel, etc. Button layout, design, navigtion, and the menu system. As for performance, you might need to test out each model usually. As for specs, you can basically see the difference from the spec sheet. |

QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 23 2011, 09:43 AM) Spot on bro! Maybe the guys were complaining that they didn't get any shot due to slow focus I've went on a job assignment and met with some media pros including Bernama, Astro Awani & several other media photo/videographers. Talked to one reporter from Astro Awani, and I talked about the D3s and he said most of the guys there that have their D3s just changed system from canon to nikon because their companies changed brand & there's a lot of media companies that are doing that. He said it's a bit of pain for em because most of them are used to canon and now they have to get used to using nikon. I asked why the media companies changed system... he was reluctant to say & just changed the topic after that (probably because he is a canon user himself) |

QUOTE(Agito666 @ Feb 23 2011, 10:31 AM) You don't have to read all at once and memorize all, plus, it's not exam or anything.Just bookmark it, and refer to it when you see any of those term, it's easier and make u remember/understand faster. If you read all now, doesn't mean you will remember it anyway. |

QUOTE(FaezFarhan @ Feb 22 2011, 08:35 PM) 80-200 two touch for RM2.8k. Is it a good price? Assuming it's a good copy, that's a very fair price. QUOTE(Andy214 @ Feb 23 2011, 12:47 AM) Personally I would opt for two touch; Compare third party, Sigma is soft wide open, especially at 200mm. Third party lens might have built-in motor and newer technology. Yes, I would do the same too. Then when you need something better, sell it. You can still command good price for it.QUOTE(thomaskhling @ Feb 23 2011, 02:18 AM) Does any hv this problem with zoom ring? quite stiff.. what should i do. go for service? I think a simple lubrication service at Nikon SC should be able to cure the problem.QUOTE(Tony Stark @ Feb 23 2011, 07:38 AM) And some very little issue on it doesn't make people won't buy it also. I've seen lots of nice images from the so-called-flawed 5d2. Well said bro celciuz. It's the person behind the camera that matters most of the time. It's how you work around your equipment.QUOTE(alpha_company @ Feb 23 2011, 09:10 AM) "The focus issue is real. Canon's actions clearly establish this as fact. I believe that's a very old statement. Canon has already re-called and provided a "fix" but it still remains a problem if I'm not mistaken. What I heard is the 1D Mark IV while better at AF, it introduces new set of AF problems.Debating this reality is only a source of controversy, and needless at this point in time. 1. There was and is a problem with the MkIII. This is not longer a debate, it is fact. 2. Most of the released units to date may be effected. 3. Canon will be implementing a process to repair the MkIII" |

My friend's 1Dmk4 went back to Canon for almost 1 month to 'fix' the AF module. He was complaining about focusing inaccurate, the shooting the same thing under lowlight and focusing it twice with the AF, one shot can be sharp another can be slightly off focus.
Took back, so far his feedback is more or less similar LOL. |

What I heard is the 1D Mark IV while better at AF, it introduces new set of AF problems. Yup it was an old statement dating around 2007 I think... Yup, I've also read about photographers sending their 1Dm3 for repairs/service but when they got it back the problem still persists even when they send it in the 2nd time... I'm not sure if they ever got it fixed at all. The hardware problem is much harder to fix.... I feel sorry for those people...For 5Dm2 there's numerous firmware updates that upgrades stuffs & fixes a lot of problems, glitches or whatever..maybe because it has video mode. I wonder why the D700 has so few firmware updates.... I'm not sure about the 1Dm4 af problems... guess I'm better of in the DARKside.
