Hey Nikonians.
Just wanna ask, which camera setup is the best for taking events (Think dimly lit halls) ?
I'm used to using a 5D2 + 70-200 + fast 50 for events.
But soon I'll be helping my company take their events and they don't like canon.
They do however have lots of Nikon camera for me to borrow.
So which models should I borrow ? Models available are all except the D4, D3s and D800 plus all lens below RM 4k.
Must be pretty good + user friendly to a canon user like me lol.
It'll also be really helpful if any Nikon Sifu can state any major difference in user interface between the 2 brands lol.
Im not a sifu but I do use both system extensively for my work (1ds, 5dmk2, 7d, 50d etcetc). As long as you know your photography it does not matter the brand of the camera as the theory remains the same, ISO+aperture+shutter madness. All you need to know is where the buttons are. U'd also find that metering bar, dials, zoom and mount are opposite way of Canons.
Oh and I find that the menu system for 5dmk2 is quite complicated, you got tabs and tabs and tabs which drops down to sub sub sub menus

. Now the 5dmk3 is way better, feels more like a Nikon menu system hehehe
best of luck
