QUOTE (BernardLanguillier @ Dec 8 2009, 09:08 PM) More to be found at www.bythom.com Nikon lens line up has many holes in it, no doubt. I would say though that they have gotten many of their recent releases right... this being said 90% of my images are shot with a Zeiss lens... The true beauty of stitching is that changing system has become a whole lot easier... were Canon or Sony to release something really appealing in the...

QUOTE (achrisproduction @ Dec 9 2009, 10:58 AM) Benard, I think it doesn't matter what system. The image is the main thing. I like your images, your landscape work is the best landscape work I ever seen to be honest. Cheers, Chris I agree with everything you say here Edmund

QUOTE (achrisproduction @ Dec 9 2009, 06:42 AM) few lenses that Nikon has to catch up with. EF 24 f/1.4L II, EF 35 f/1.4L, EF 50 f/1.2L, EF 85 f/1.2L II, EF 100 f/2.8L IS, EF 135 f/2L, EF 180 f/3.5L....etc. More to be found at www.bythom.com Nikon lens line up has many holes in it, no doubt.

QUOTE (Jeremy Payne @ Dec 6 2009, 09:45 AM) I'll stick to facts ... the G7 had a sensor that was 1/1.8 " (7.18 x 5.32 mm, 0.38 cm²) and the G9 had a sensor that was 1/1.7 " (7.60 x 5.70 mm, 0.43 cm²) ... the lenses are the same ... I'm a stickler for facts also, but still don't understand what you are driving at. I previously wrote: QUOTE Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, as the...

QUOTE (col @ Dec 6 2009, 03:55 PM) I'm a stickler for facts also, but still don't understand what you are driving at. Not that complicated ... When Canon upgraded the G7 to the G9, it appears that they added a larger sensor while keeping the lens the same. That's all.

QUOTE (paratom @ Dec 9 2009, 11:59 AM) I dont feel that the Nikon 24PCE, 28/1.4, 35/2.0, Sigma 50/1.4 for Nikon, 85/1.4, 105DC, 135DC, 180/2.8 are the limiting factor, even if some of the Canon counterparts might be slightly ahead. For those who use zooms its probably the other way around. Personally I have never seen a reason to switch to Zeiss lenses on the Nikon. The only lens which I didnt like that much is the...

QUOTE (eronald @ Dec 7 2009, 02:18 AM) I think their CMOS technology is more and more geared to video - it can work with low light and gives very smooth images which many say are ideal for film-makers. Most of us who really want really good low-light AF and sharp hi-ISO images with good color have moved to N already. This is not to say that Canon are bad - it's just that N have come back from nowhere to score a home run...

I own a Nikon D700 and Nikkor 14-24/2.8. This is a replacement, or upgrade, to my Canon 5D with Sigma 15-30. Unfortunately, I cannot find an upgrade in the Nikkor repertoire to the Canon 24-105/F4 IS, nor the Canon 100-400 IS, two lenses which I use a lot. Image stabilisation is a great invention and, in my view, more significant than any moderate increase in sensor pixel count. A D3s with some good quality Nikkor lenses featuring the latest...

since you're already set up with Canon, that is what I would stay with. you already have some great kit there, being able to cover pretty much anything IMO. 1dIII :speed(raw speed ) 1dsIII: massive quality in a nice, weatherproof package, can act as a 2nd hammer when you need it to 5dII: better low-light performance, with 1080p video to boot!
