What are Nikon shooters doing?
Apr 5, 2014 20:46:18 #
I am sitting watching the "Final Four" on television. As usual the crowds are huge, and the arena is immense. The place is actually a football stadium and not really good for basketball, but the student-athlete loving NCAA sees fit to play in there largest building possible. Anywho, it seems that all the photographers surrounding the floor are Canon shooters! I haven't seen a black lens in the crowd yet. Nothing but white barrels, and lots of them. I am surprised by the number of 200-400 Super Zooms that are in the crowd. I was just wondering, what do Nikon shooters do during major sporting events? I guess there must be lot of weddings or something else exciting to look at. :lol: :lol: :lol:

You must have been reading my mind - I'm watching and thinking the same thing. But as a lifelong Nikon shooter, I can't think of any reasonable, rational, intelligent answer to that dilemma. Besides, I've always wondered what the attractions for those white (beige) lenses were. Must be "look at me!"

That or maybe the pro's know what is best.

Basketball, being possibly the easiest of all sports to photograph, does not require the advanced degree of finesse offered by the Nikon marque. Why waste all that additional superior technology when it just isn't needed? Besides, Nikon people are more likely to be football people than basketball people, anyway.

The Nikon/Canon debate is stale to say the least.
If you shoot Nikon and it makes you feel better, visit the major theme parks in central Florida, or several cruise ship lines. The employees taking pictures of the guests, to sell, from my observation, are using Nikons. That says a lot.
Both are good systems, I am happy with what I have.

Yea but not many of them because Canon outsells Nikon about 10 to 1 that puts you in the minority. :mrgreen:

It's only a 10 to 1 ratio if you include compact point and shoot cameras. With DSLR's, I think Nikon is slightly on top.

Keep in mind, Nikon has WHITE Lenses as well. So, while you see no black lenses, that doesn't mean that there aren't some Nikon's in the mix.
As a disclaimer, I have owned both manufactures and both are great camera's!

Canon users don't believe anyone else has white lenses. If you show them a photo of a white lens that is not Canon, they have a stroke.

I guess Nikon photographers are at other events where exceptional photo quality has to be adhered to.
