hai forumer,

Im nikonian DX body..but recently im thinking to jump ship to FF Canon instead of FX Nikon.
because my friend use Canon FF,so its problem in term of colors when we coop to do some job...

So..hope all photography lover here can share their exp or opinion...

maybe can suggest to me which fullframe body i should consider..
recently im looking for Canon 6D..and some people said,d700's colors same with Canon FF (if yes,of cos i would not jump ship) hehe

any ship jumper, 6D user, D700 user or FF / FX user...help me abit..maybe


errr..actually im in dilemma whether to change or not...


thx in advance ..=)

Do you solely shoot jpeg ?
I shoot with dual systems, but I'm not exactly bothered by the color difference.

Jump first. Regret later (if any )

some of my works were shot in both systems and when presenting the works, i don't think the colour difference (if any) is obvious. flip through a magazine that contains good photographs... can you tell which camera shoot which photos? flip through a copy of monocle, does the slight colour change is so obvious that you thought to yourself 'hmm, if only that photographer used a nikon system to do that series'...

anyway, i am using both system and my higher end camera is a canon (apart from hasselblad) and i am using canon simply because of the awesome 17mm TSE lens.

but if you were working with a friend, and serious about it, i am seeing both of you working in a company sort of things. then it makes sense to use the same system... not very much for the same colour but can share lenses and accessories...

just shoot raw lah and adjust the diff in post, save a lot more money and you can keep using the nikon you already familiar with...this is assuming that it is possible to adjust the raw to match the canon which I think is possible lah...



post some pic lah wei with ur tse in the canon forum...hope to see awesome pic from u soon

btw..thx for the great comment..appreciate..

why should nikonian goes to canonian? nikon perfect already.

gbs,
What are the features you need on a 6D? I guess its only right to compare the 6D canon to a D600 Nikon since both are FF.

After doing my research on both, I went for the D600 from my crop sensor 60D. If you are used to the Nikon features, you might not loose anything as the features on Nikon was a bit harder to get used to, considering the easy to use features on the 60D.

No regrets leaving Canon but to each his own.

At the end of the day you still can photoshop your photo.

No camera is perfect unless you're a nikon fanboy.

I plan to jump to Pentax because I started photography with a Pentax manual camera and got quite a number of nice shot. Now that their digital looks interesting.

i already owned d7k..different between d600 and d7k is crop n fullframe only...the rest still same...thats y im comparing 6d n d700 =)

yup..photoshop at the end of the day....from my observation, nikon n canon got slightly a different color..so im trying to minimized the time in ps..since i'll cooperate with canon user..5 vs 1..hahahaha im lost ;'(

every single photo?
at the end of the day, you are suppose to be a photographer, not a photoshopper

6D has quite a few distinct advantage from the D700.
It is after all a generation later.

Advantages include 1080p movie, wifi, resolution.

hehe..maybe he refer to single photo =)..hehe

yup..disadvantages is single sd slot n 9 af point single cross...

I jumped from D600 to 6D and to me, it was judge to see a difference in sensor quality because I was using a mediocre lens on the d600 but a relatively good lens on the 6D.

I can say this I guess: The 6D has better noise performance at the cost of sharpness. Nikon files are indeed different and special in their own way (I prefer nikon colours), but its only a marginal difference to me.

6D files seem to handle skin tones better IMHO.

But the best part about the 6D to me is that I was originally a Canon user a while back, and the controls are just really intuitive and easy for me vs the D600. I like the handling of the 6D alot more than I did with the Nikon. But chances are, if you originally started out with Nikon, you won't feel the same.

D600 has built in intravalometer, but I don't have the time and opportunity to use it to its full use, so the wifi function in the 6D benefits me most (really really useful for my usages)

i think go with raw and light room might solve ur problem

I heard that the quality of Nikon products has gone down. That's what a retail shop asistant told me. Canon seems to be no better. My old Powershot SX 1000 IS suddenly gave problems. It was my mainstay camera. All shots became over exposed. Brought to Canon Service centre in Peremba Square, Shah Alam. Had to change the whole lens assembly, costing me RM420; Guess digital things don't last. It's about 5 years old.

well... you can't expect so much from a cheap compact camera even some expensive dslr don't last more than 5 years if used oftenly.

get this... 20yrs no need service yet still running fine...

plus can tell those 35mm shooters to F off medium format FTW
