I like them all. I'm not ready to commit to just one specific type of photography at this time. Just getting into the SLR family of cameras and want an all around camera/lens I can use and still be creative in whatever I'm trying to shoot. And there's budget to consider also.


Since you have not decided what you want to shoot, the equipment will ultimately make the choice for you. You WILL end up with a system that is better at some things and worse at others. The you will then llikely graviate toward things where your camera system is better.

Good points. The sensor for me is the basic building block for all other components, features, and accessories. I would think low-light/high ISO is the most important part especially for wildlife and sports. Arguably more focus points does not insure a better system, but I do agree a good AF system is as fundamental for good photographing as the sensor. I agree lenses can be critical for both uses, not more important than the aforementioned. While a few exceptions for lenses could be argued as what is "best" for a particular use, I think between the two major manufacturers and to a lesser degree some third party makers, lenses are very comparable in my opinion.

Go with that.

If you think an out of focus shot with great color and low noise is superior to an in focus shot that needs a little PP you stick with the idea that the sensor comes first.

But then you might want to avoid sports or moving wildlife shots.

Do they have anyting attached to their flash? Outdoors you just step the flash down a bit, you don't point it away.

I disagree. But you are certainly entitled to your opinion.


I agree with you. Canon makes much better focusing systems for wildlife and sports. You are right!

Have you had the camera and lenses checked for focusing issues?

Hi JD: My first question to you would be about your t70 lenses... Are they usable on the Canon Rebel.. If they have the red dot on them they should be... The alternative would to be buying both the Nikon d3200 plus lenses.. Just food for thought..


Echo the question on lenses. What do you have? If you are starting new either Canon or Nikon will work for your purposes with an edge toward Nikon, unless you want to shoot some of the vehicles in fast action (like races) where the edge shifts to Canon.

If not keeping your 7D is a possibility, than I would think the 750 is the best choice to do both with. If memory serves correctly the DxOMark sensor score for sports/low-light is about 30% greater than the III. I am admittedly a bit OCD on the low light-high ISO scores right now, but also admit I am looking for best price for the 750 after looking at the 810, the 7D II and several others as the 750 kept rising to the top for sensor, features, and most of all (to me) value. A few retailers have deeply discounted the Pentax K-5, K-5s, and less so on the K-3, which has a selective anti-alias filter feature that is a bit intriguing. I have a few Pentax lenses, but would need a couple of more. So many choices, so little money. lol

Keep in mind that a camera is a system in which the sensor is only one component. For wildlife and action both the available lenses and the focusing system are probably more important.

That's not "The Catch." I remember "The Catch." From Wikipedia:

The Catch refers to the winning touchdown reception by Dwight Clark off a Joe Montana pass in the January 10, 1982, NFC Championship Game between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers. The Catch is widely regarded as one of the most memorable events in NFL history. The game represented the end of Dallas' domination in the NFC since the conference's inception in 1970, and the beginning of San Francisco's rise as both an NFC and Super Bowl power in the 1980s.

(From a 49ers fan)

Sorry, Nothing beats 1972 and the Immaculate Reception. NFL Films has chosen it as the greatest play of all time.

haha...I know. But at this point, shockingly the only canon camera I'm interested in is the 7D2. I just have no faith in their FF offerings. Believe me I WANT canon to be there in the FF realm, but they just aren't.

Yes I plan on renting a D750 and one lens to give it a try. I also want to rent the 7D2 to see what it can do in LOW iso.

Know any good rental places? ;)


Renting both is the way to go, if you can afford it.

Andrew Mills, who you can see in the background of the Kathy Willins shot had an article inthe paper about how he did not "miss" the shot dispite havubg to juggle cameras. As proof he shows the shot creditied to him in the article. However, if he had been a little quicker, I think he could have had a shot that showed the whole football.

It is a tough game.

Don't let that poster get to you, he is an extremely jealous Canon user who puts down anything and anyone Nikon whenever he can get a chance. A look at his posts will clearly show that. Sad really.


Come on now. SS does not take every opportunity to put down Nikon users.

There is not enought time in the day for that.

Product photography is similar to sports photography in that if you need to ask how much the equipment costs, you probably should not be considering entering the field.

Sorry Charlie....I mean, Cholly!
Hey, I've NEVER talked about low light, because it really doesn't mean anything to me. Sure, more is better, it always will be, it CAN'T be worse, but I know how to handle low light, no matter WHAT my limits are. I have lots of shots in low-light/dark and they rarely have noise.
There will ALWAYS be shots that you can't get, you know, the ones that would-have-been the best shot you have ever taken but it got away?!! :lol:
For those that think that a shot is anything other than composition, it's only because they don't know anything about composition, which is to know nothing of photography.
It's more important to get shots that look good, not shots that look good!!? :shock: :lol: :shock:

Ask not what your camera can do for you, but what you can do with your camera!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ya know SS. There are some people who just fixate on one item at a time. The sensor one day, ISO the next. The can't quite understand the word S-Y-S-T-E-M. It is beyond them. Don't let them get to you.

What lens do you currently use? A nice fast lens might be more useful in freezing the action.
