I am browsing through internet for some DSLR review & comparison between Canon 5D Mark III and Nikon D810 to prepare for my purchase of an used unit of either one.
It will be my first DSLR, no lens in my hand, so I am basically free to jump in to any system.
I am not a newbie in photography and not keen to start at entry level DSLR as I already been into this hobby for some years just not by using an SLR or DSLR.
I come across this article when thinking to choose between Nikon or Canon DSLR:
Nikon F vs Canon EF lens mount
While the content of the article should be fact, I wonder in real world usage and real world experience, how much those differences going to affect the user. Because from the article it can be seen that it is implying other than backward compatibility with older lens, Nikon lens mount system seems to suffer more disadvantages compare to Canon lens mount system (with regard to full frame system). While these facts might be true on paper, I am wondering is the same can be said when come to real world experience.
Beside, the article is also a year old, Nikon technology might have improved, the difference mentioned might be even smaller.
The articles mention few important points, which I summarize as below:
a) Canon lens can be easily built to have larger aperture (faster lens), while Nikon lens if want to achieve the same, either too costly or impractical. So there is more fast lens in Canon than in Nikon.
b) Nikon lens can be used on Canon body, Canon lens cannot be used on Nikon body, reducing Nikon user opportunity of choice of lens.
I would like to ask Nikon DSLR user here,
1) Have you ever feel in agreement with the weakness of Nikon lens mount system mentioned in the article?
2) While on paper the content of the article might be true, but in real world usage, have you encounter such situation where the Nikon lens mount system "features" has causes you to feel disappointed or frustrated? I do not use the term "weakness" as I do not think it is a weakness, just a consequence of the design philosophy chosen by Nikon.

A question not related to this topic: Does any one knows when will Canon releases the 5D Mark IV? I guess suppose is this year. Although I am not planning to get it but if I buy 5D mark III after mark IV is released I think I can get a cheaper price, albeit I am yet to confirm to jump into Canon system yet.

Each system has its strengths and weakness. Whichever you choose and use, you make use of the strengths to its fullest to realise the possibilities. Stop delving into comparisons and start enjoying the art!It will be my first DSLR, no lens in my hand, so I am basically free to jump in to any system.
