lol

such a sad state of affairs for Canon (note: Pentax, Olympus and Sony do not count. nowhere large enough to bother either Nikon or Canon. we'll see how well Sony holds up in the next five years though)

Canon has been spending waaaaay too much attention on the low end

their last 3 cameras: 40d, xsi and xs

nikon's last 3 cameras: d3, d60, d700

canon's next probable camera: new 5d, but we could very well see a pumped up 40d replacement

nikon's next probably camera: d3x, but we could very well see a d90

canon should stop worrying about low end

but i guess this doesn't worry them too much because nikon will never sell more cameras outside of japan

Don't forget that the D60 is relatively new too, and all the hipsters around here are going fucking crazy for it.

If they make a followup to the D80, then that'll be goddamn fucking awesome to the fucking awesome degree. They'll have a whole goddamn new line.

Canon got raped.

Old news. The D3 firmware contained data that suggested a 20+MP successor.

>>223327Don't forget that the D60 is relatively new too, and all the hipsters around here are going fucking crazy for it.

i did say the d60 in my list of the last 3 cameras nikon released

although i didn't want to include it since it's a d40 with more resolution

if you discard it, nikon's last 3 models are the d300, d3 and d700, fucking combo killers right there
>> Anonymous
>>223329

Whoops, I guess I didn't read close enough.

Either way, if they release an updated D80, that would be fuckin' awesome.

Also, with the D700 out, the price of a used D200 will go down, so when August comes I'm going to be looking for a nice DSLR, since I haven't been able to afford one yet.
>> Anonymous
uh, the d200 has been sinking since the d300 lol

if anything, it's the d300 and d3 that are going down since the d700
>> Anonymous
what the fuck is this shit? if canon realeses a new 40d to compete with d300 and a new 5d to compete with the d700 they have a worthy competitor versus all of nikons cameras. the d40 will compete with an new d80, and will probably be better.
>> Anonymous
>>223338
>> if

that's a big if

the d300 and d3 can be had in your hands today
the d700 is officially announced

canon has _nothing_ announced whatsoever, all speculation

as it is, nikon has a superior camera for every segment

except the low end because everyone knows the d40/d60 sucks
>> sage !i/euDJmWr2
Why are you even arguing about who is leading the market? I mean..you know that Canon and Nikon play leapfrog with that position, who really cares?

Nikon releases something new, Canon catches up a little bit later and tops them, then Nikon does the same thing and it keeps going on. It's been that way for years..
>> Anonymous
i love how people can say it's been that way for years when it hasn't even been a full generation cycle between an entire lineup

you guys should be making up statistics for the president and cnn

and the whole leapfrog thing... puuuuhhlease

the top end bodies from nikon have been superior to every canon body released ever, look at the charts on wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_400d
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_d40

scroll all the way down and match it up

the only area nikon was lacking is 35mm sensor and now they've got it

that leapfrog shit is the argument canon fanboys pull because canon has been sitting on their asses doing NOTHING since the d300, d3, and d700

why would i give them credit when they've been sitting on their asses doing absolutely nothing since the 30D and 5D?

a sucky ass 1d3, the less than respectable 40d, the xsi and xs

when nikon has been putting out the d3, d300 and d700

yeah, i'm going to give them a lot of props for that shit they pulled

and breaking news, i use canon and it's fucking sad because i've got nothing good to upgrade to

and i'll save you the trouble of asking like a smartass "lol the 5d is too good for you amirite?"

no, but i'm not prepared to pay $2,000 on a 3 year old body

i'm waiting for their announcement september

if it's a shitty release again, i'm selling my shit and buying a d700

lol.... i knew the only reply you would have is that, and it's painfully obvious you are _not_ a nikon user but a canonfag who can't admit canon has been sucking SHIT for the last 3 years

is the 5d too good for me? i said, no

>> no, but i'm not prepared to pay $2,000 on a 3 year old body

i am not about to put down $2,000 on an antiquated body when i could do so much more with a d700

i'm sorry but newer things actually do help you get better shots, whether you want to admit it or not

the d700 gives me so much more flexibility than the 5d, it's not even worth comparing the two

and if you can't accept that, then you're just being butthurt

>>223368

uh, there's no fucking way to know what they will release

we all expected a new 5d this summer, what did we get? the 1000d

and please, do not put words in my mouth

you have no fucking idea what will come out or even if something will come out

whereas it's clear as fucking day with nikon

heh

i'm not taking pictures of my cat and posting it on flickr

would you go in an olympic event with a camera that can only shoot at 1.5 FPS and buffer 10 frames?

no, you get a 1d3 that buffers over 100 frames at 10 FPS

or are you one of those guys that will wait for that one magical moment to release the shutter?

i'm sorry but not everyone has the same needs, specially when all you do is take pictures of cats, am i right?

my check list is simple

i want:
- a high performance, in speed and operation, body
- can take some abuse
- have huge flexibility when it comes to fixing issues with files for "shit happens" mode

what are my choices? the $3,000 d700, the $2,000 5d or a $5,000 1d3

i can't afford the 1d3, so that leaves me with the d700 and 5d

the d700 is built to "pro", i don't like that word but whatever, standards
the d700 has the same AF as the d3
the d700 gives me much better files to work with when i have to fix problems
the d700 shoots much faster than the 5d

that's not being a gearfag, that's choosing the right tool for doing the job you want it to do

why are you so butthurt about this anyway?

that was just an example but

uh, again why are you so butthurt about this?

if you really are a nikon guy like you said, are you jealous i may get a better camera than you?

if you are a canonfag like i think you are, are you jealous canon hasn't made anything good since the 5d and 30d?

and why the fuck does it matter what i use? you think i just buy a $3,000 camera to take cat pictures, fine believe that all you want

the facts do NOT change at all

the d700 is a superior camera to the 5d and that is the smart choice

The Nikkor lens mount is epic fail...the flange-focal distance is too short and so you can't mount M42 lenses on it.

Regardless of which body is purportedly better, I'm sticking with EOS because the EF mount is more flexible and doesn't force me to buy nikkor lenses.

Sigma is not M42. M42 is an older screwmount with lots of great lenses (and lots of crappy lenses, too) for it. Pretty much all non-Nikon SLRs before a certain point in time were M42.

The guy has a valid point: nothing goes on the F-mount except the F-mount, and that's a valid reason not to go with Nikon. The counterpoint is that there are more F-mount lenses than any other mount.
>> Anonymous
>>223721
In correction, Sigma has made M42 lenses in the past. There are thousands of M42 lenses. A lot and a lot more then F mount lenses.

>>223744

I've always heard that, in total number of lenses produced, not models of lenses but *lenses*, there's more F-mount lenses than anything else.

He's referring to the statement that nothing goes on a Nikon but Nikkors, which is of course untrue.

I can attach my new Nikon Lenses to my old Nikon film bodies and attach my old Nikon lenses to my new digital Nikon bodies.

Canon is fucking gay for ditching the FD mount to rust and moving to the EF. Though I agree it's actually a good move in the long run but now my Canon A-1 is stranded in its generation while my poorfag friend has a Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 AI-s that he manuals on his D40 among some other great lenses.

I read it as him being confused and calling the F-mount the "Nikkor mount" and saying he had to buy Nikkors as meaning he had to buy F-mount lenses.

>>223779

Less obnoxiously written protip:

It's either a matter of:

A) A historical fluke of who had the better whatever at some point in time,
B) If they're a PJ, whatever their paper or agency or whatever has, or
C) what they personally prefer.

Sometimes a mix.

I suppose I'll do that thing where I take trolls seriously.

Saying that all pros use Canon is a bit of a generalization. Certainly all newspapermen do (remember though, that they were using the Nikon D1 not too long ago, and the F before that), but they're not the only pros out there. Yes, they're common among wedding shooters and people needing the 1Ds as well, but past that there's a wide world of professional gear that gets used out there. Many studios still shoot medium format film in Hassys, Mamiya 67 rigs, and even TLRs. Some have upgraded to medium format digital. And then NASA shoots Nikon and Hasselblad exclusively. The US military is also a Nikon customer. And now that Nikon has some credible pro bodies out again, who knows what could happen in the future.
