Only a worthless cunt would get the Nikon. Honestly you need to get fucking raped for even thinking about a Nikon you trendy hipster fuck. GTFO my /p/ you dick and listen to some Indie.

D80.
I'll never buy a sony again. I've had two compacts from them and they were the noisiest motherfuckers on the planet. My friend's dad was given one of their SLR's (don't remember which one) for a week to review and he gave it to him after a day or so.
The shots I saw were noisy as hell, in broad daylight and in the hands of a professional photographer.

Well, here you go you slippery tit.

I'd go go gadget the Sony. both the Sony AND the Nikon use a Sony CCD. and as for the additional 100 bucks, you get higher mega pixels, image stabilization, a bigger AND tilty LCD, WITH Live-view. so you don't HAVE to use the eye-fuck. also, Sony bought out Minolta, and used their lens mount system. so you can get GOOD minolta lenses for CHEAP.

Your friends dad is a shit-head. Nikon AF and shutters are louder.

yo, not to mention the in-body auto focus motor. same with Image stabilization. it's in the body, not the lense.

Are you fucking kidding? The a100 was so bad that Sony actually promoted the fact that they had dampened the shutter sound in the a200.

I meant that the images were laden with noise.
He took the Sony (not sure which model) and a D200 out for a day and concluded that the Sony was too shitty for him to endorse.
Most of his studio work is done on a large format camera that I've only seen once.
I doubt that shutter and AF loudness are an issue for him, he's not a /b/tard walking around in street shadows taking candids of people.
Then again, he is a huge nikonfag.

Sure you were...

You quoted some guy saying:

>> they were the noisiest motherfuckers on the planet.
>> The shots I saw were noisy as hell, in broad daylight and in the hands of a professional photographer.

And you decide to randomly say Nikon has loud AF and loud shutters.

Failure save is failure

What the fuck are you talking about?
I never saw the camera in action, only some samples that my friend showed me. They were noisy for a DSLR with a APS-C sensor, the same way that my Sony digital compacts' pictures were noisier than the competition.
I also have a bias against Sony in general because a lot of their products don't live up to the name, but there are some good things they've produced.
If the AF and mirror slap were loud it wouldn't make much of a difference to him, but I haven't tried the Sony and therefore can't say whether it's loud or not. My old film Nikon has loud AF but mirror slap imo isn't too loud. I brought up this because of what>>277546said.
Douchebags.

tl;dr:
According to a professional photographer/graphic designer, a certain Sony DSLR produced images that were too noisy and lower in quality than he expected.

take the sony 350.
the live view is excellent, especially if youre used to eat (like me, my previous cam was a sony f828).
its one of the view dslrs that offer high autofocus while in live view and the flexible screen is the creampie in the pussy.

image quality is very good imho - as with most sonys, they start to noise a bit earlier than other cams, but up to iso 400 it is perfectly fine.

handling is easy, quality is good - the only aspect where it doesnt shine is the max. frequency of 2.5 pics per second (but it is enough for me)

plus you´ll get
-built in stabilizer (dont know about the nikkon, but that way you dont have always to pay extra when buying a new lens)
-nearly 15 megapixls

go for the sony (btw, the 350 got the camera of the year award europe from the eisa)

op start with a cheap AE1

get a canon faggot

canon > nikon = sony

well, below iso400 the 350 has the best image quality in that range. but above iso400 noise is indeed worse as with the others.
still, imho iso400 should be enough anways
