I find the N v C discussions amusing until they turn ugly. I own only Canon but live in a split household and use Nikon regularly. To think one if better than the other at an absolute level is a fool's argument. Attached is from yesterday in the Memphis National Centaury. 5DIII w/ 35 f/1.4L.

It isn't about which body is better, it's about how having so much invested in the glass that you can't afford to change anyway.
I am stuck on Canon
Cuz Canon's stuck on me.
It is a good thing Canon is better than Nikon and Pentax and Sony and
:mrgreen:

I sit with a cup of coffee and let my imagination run wild about what they look like and how friggin awful life would become if you had to share a work station or similar with them. To their wives I extend my deepest and sincere sympathy.
Secondly I look in their porfolio here and lo and behold many of the loudest talkers do not seem to take photos at all. Just read and digest reviews and polish their lens collection. All bought because of hot reviews about zero pin cushion and other such tasty and desirable attributes.
The first caller was right Nikon and Canon both make good kit. So stop talking and boring others and get off ya butt and use what you have to take some photos.
Me? I use an old Pentax thats been dropped 3 times onto concrete floors and totally immersed in the sea. Still going strong and in use at least 4 days a week with 100 plus shots taken on each of those days. I also post photographs regularly here. So to me Pentax is OK as well and Im sure Sony and Olympus are fine bits of kit as well.

And you also find the time to dabble in HDR. My hero! I'd rather be out shooting than talking about it too. In fact, the sunrise is getting near. Gotta run!!!
Having used various Canon and Nikon equipment since 1969, I have to say that both make some excellent gear. I've used one or the other for some very specific reasons over the years, which means that it depends on the use as to which is better for what purpose. And honestly, most of the time it boiled down to what I had in the lens collection.
That said, I'm now a fan of Panasonic Lumix and their GH4...
I believe Canon and Nikon are both late to the mirrorless party, and will have a tough time catching up, as RIM (BlackBerry now) did in the smart phone market. The mirror chamber will be dead in a few years, save for the very high end of the market.

Com'on Steve, what are you gonna talk about? Make up your mind. Is it gonna be about how bad your pictures are or how bad your camera is?
We could critique both. Just tell us what you shoot with and post a pic taken with it. I promise to be honest, unbiased and not just say "nice shot/nice camera", cause I'm sure I'd be lying about both!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well sometimes I shoot with a 4S.
Like the S bend horizon?
Or a Canon.
Or a Nikon.

And sometimes I shoot with a Canon

the gallery is for members who just want to share their photo experience. the photos don't have to rate an A or B.
Often it seems like those who fuss the loudest over camera brands possess only mediocre photography skills.
I was away from the computer today and just caught up. Ok...here's a couple.

Steve, welcome back!
Hey, this is WAY to boring!
It's like watching paint dry in all the other user moderated sections.
Steve, can we start yelling at each other? I mean, I know you don't care, but this is like dating a girl you know you will never have sex with!!
Abusing each other is way more FUN!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK, here's mine. What the hell, I have fun anyway! :lol:

Who really gives a crap?
I enjoy the banter, or simply pass it like bad gas. (So be glad you don't have smell-a-vision.)
I shoot Nikon for a number of good reasons.
1. It's the best.
2. My SIL and Grand Daughter have Nikon's. And since Nikon saw fit to keep their mountings the same, my junk is easily inherited.
3. I grew up admiring Nikon's.
4. It's the best.
5. I can easily download my Nikon SD cards to any PC.
My Step-Son's Cannon had to be sent to his house to extract the pictures. Proprietary software by Canon's clowns. :evil:
But hey, it's OK. Canon is like Apple. They have their followers.
Pick your friends,
Or pick your nose,
But you mustn't pick your friends nose. :-P
I got a Canon and now look at me!

Sonny, I was once told, by a very wise little 8 year old girl, that it's impossible to come up with five GOOD reasons to shoot a Nikon. I guess she was right.
Must be the reason 2 of yours are the same! :lol: :lol:

S.S.....You making friends again?

You had better explain what sex is SS. Damn sure the Canon vs Nikon contributors jerk off whilst reading lens reviews and discussing the size of their sensor lol
