I have noticed (around here at least) the trend of photographers is to favor Nikon cameras over Canon or other brands.
The irony is that they are not even using the top models but rather a basic cropped sensor model.
Is this an indication of better quality or just minimal budget.


From what I've been reading over the years I've been a UHH member, your observation is not as accurate as you may believe it to be.
Canon is still the number one camera manufacturer with a market share that dwarfs Nikon. Odds are that same trend is reflected in the gear owned by UHH membership.
I'm not saying Canon is better than Nikon, I own and use both.
My current daily shooters are my Nikon D850, Canon R5 and Canon R7. I have not retired my Canon 5D mk IV or Nikon D500, but they don't get used as much as they used to.
Of the cameras I mentioned, 3 are Canon and 2 are Nikon, 3 are full frame and all 5 are top shelf models, not the basic models you are referring to.
I consider myself to be an average UHH member, and not a professional photographer. Just a person who likes taking photos and enjoys having and using good gear. I also rarely post images to UHH. The only person I'm trying to impress is me.

My limit is about $1000. Ten years ago, I was a happy Canon user, then I was “let down” by two Rebels in a row. The R10 sounds good to me. If I were to go back to Canon, I would probably try it. Initial quality is not my concern - longevity is.


How were you let down and by which two Rebel models?

OK, I wiped out what I had by accident. All gone.
And finally got a break last night, but was trying to run NINA and actually got to see it do some stuff.
Even plate solving and auto focusing. One small step for anybody, but one giant leap for me.
I was trying something simple, the Double Cluster, and was getting to a need for a meridian flip. But try as I might it just was not going to happen.
So frustrated and cold, I looked over my shoulder at my old friend Orion. Why not? It was in the Southern skies and prime for my location.
So I programmed in M42 into NINA, and let it take me there with its plate solving and auto focusing. Looked damn good to me.
I still don't have the imaging part of NINA figured out, nor the guiding. But after NINA got me there, and centered up with its magical plate solving and auto focus I had to resort to running my camera in ASI's Studio program, and kicking off PHD to guide.
Even though it seemed like a back door way to get any files, it ran cobbled up like that, and Nina kept things plate solved and in focus over the 6 1/2 hours it said it would take for the session.
So off to bed after a while of watching things remotely and a shrug of blind faith.
I had to get up early and get my gas pump at Sam's Club to fill up the Granny Vanny for the wife. So I pulled the telescope and computer in out of the cold at 05:20 Hrs. Then did the duties with the gas and another stop.
Then home to fiddle with the processing. That went surprisingly well for once in my life!
And although Orion is only B&W for now, I'm really pleased to have finally made some progress into automation and getting something I feel like actually posting.
I'm still muddling through YouTube videos about NINA, and exploring my processing.
But happy to have finally gotten this before the skies begin their undulation with sunny days and cloudy nights again.

Smeary edges and all. Not cropped. Just aligned and stacked. I think it looks better downloaded.
My taste leans more towards fast food. So that would mean I have no taste....

Feel free to play if you'd like. The tif file was too bulky for UHH.

Nice photo...

Actually, the Canon EOS R10 is an excellent consumer grade camera that costs under $1000. You don't know what you are talking about. I was going to buy an R10 but decided to go with its more expensive big brother, the R7. Why did I pick the R7 over the R10? Because I could afford it.

Another thing, Tony and Chelsea Northrup named the R10 their camera of the year. Why did they choose such an inexpensive camera? Because it is well made, not overpriced, and is the ideal dedicated camera for folks who want a good quality camera but will probably never use the features on a more expensive camera.

Also, I've read and heard nothing but good reviews on the R10.

What does ice cream flavors have to do with it? It's still ice cream. Personally, I prefer strawberry.

But it still takes amazingly good photo's, one might not like the look of 16" X 20" prints so well.


Yes, it is quite capable of recording amazing images, but them a whole lot of digital cameras are. Amazingly good photos are usually the result of the individual taking the photo.

Yep! And and the 14 Pro Max has a 48 megapixel sensor!


Yeah, but it's a pretty darn small sensor and packing all those pixels onto a sensor that small isn't necessarily a good thing.

WD 40 is a brand now, not just the product we are familiar with. The post you reponded to said, "for electronics".

Yes, I'm familiar with the different WD-40 products. I was referring to the original and best known product, good old WD-40. Anyone who uses that on a DSLR or MILC as a lubricant is opening up a can of problems they probably don't want to deal with.

I have read no bad reviews about the R10 at all. For its price, it is a pretty darn good camera. You say you are hearing unfavorable reviews. Where? I personally don't believe you.

Just wonder if a tiny amount of something like wd40 or ?? would do the trick .It is safe on plastic .


Don't use WD-40 as a lubricant on your camera! It will do more damage than help with your issues. It's primarily used to dissolve rust and displace moisture. Although it does have some lubricating properties, it was not formulated as a lubricant.
