$150, 000 - for a PICKUP TRUCK??? … That's INSANE!!!


Not if you're high as a kite most all the time. But in jail, I suspect he gets points from other prisoners for what he stole.[/quote]

No, but I mean - is there even a Pickup Truck which costs that much? … A pure silver Silverado - maybe?

I would say a deluxe 1 ton might make it to $100k. Beyond that price you would have to be customizing with aftermarket parts...

The drag car my son drove in 2017 was probably $300,000. Owned by a man in Louisiana. The motor alone was about $125,000. Photography is not that expensive by comparison...

I've been shooting with Canons for 30 years. Recently a friend offered me a Nikon D 300 with 4200 activations that had only been used in his studio for $1000. Of course it is nothing like a Canon in terms of where all the dials and buttons are. It has a monitor but no touch screen, which I am practiced in using to make setting changes on the fly. I also use the Canon touch screen swung out so that I can frame shots from over my head or at my knees, and this monitor, as far as I can tell, doesn't do that either. I shoot mostly photojournalism.

The reason for even considering a new camera in the first place is to go to full frame: recent discussions of noise reduction software convince me that I have to start at the source, and I have a t4i, which is cropped, and so has a much lower native iso.

While you may feel free to comment on any aspect of this question the topic is: if you've made the switch what was it like? Was muscle memory an issue? Was learning an entirely new system difficult? Are you glad you switched?

I think you would do well to switch to Nikon. It’s a very good brand. Maybe you should look to another source to get one. Everyone I know who has made the switch from Cannon to Nikon has been really happy they did.

The art of photography is all about communicating the brand of camera used.

Interesting as one long time Nikon shooting pro I know recently switched to Canon. Maybe it is just the switching that is important...

Older and wiser voices can help you find the right camera brand, especially when you are willing to listen to those who shoot Canon.
