Joe, I think Canon has decided to take FULL advantage of loyal customers... and I don't mean that in a positive way. :x

This camera is 3 years BEHIND the competition, and it costs TWICE as much to boot.

Canon owners should NOT be suckered into spending premium money for a product that is not even CLOSE to what the market currently says is standard in terms of performance and image quality. :(
If that's is the case why did Scott Kelby move from Nikon to Canon and you should read what he says about the 7DMK2. He spent an hour talking about it! Enough said !!
Nor should they be FOOLED into thinking that what Canon has to offer in the 7DII is anything BUT substandard when compared to the current state of the art for APS-C flagship cameras.

After just spending a silly amount of money on the colour munki (and that is the basic entry level device), my reasoning is going to sound a bit odd.
On the one hand I buy a piece of kit to get better colour rendition, (fed up of re printing multiple times to remove a colour cast that was not on screen)
Yet we still always go and buy the cheaper inks and what ever paper is on special deal, rather than the more expensive branded items.

Odd though it may seem...there is a reason of sorts.

Most of the printing that gets done here is colour documents, random "For Sale posters", event tickets or whatever, all items where colour accuracy is not of great importance.

So to buy expensive inks of which 80 % is wasted on unimportant 'trash' is just not worth it.

Yes I suppose I could buy the better expensive inks and only put them in when printing photos...but all extra hassle...and not considered it before.

I have just bought the Colour Munki, as the view on here and other forums seemed to be that it was the way to go to get colour accuracy.

Now I know the device, I can do a profile, with a couple of sheets and 20 minutes

When setting up to calibrate/paper/printer ink profile with a colormunki, it says to Turn off colour management at the printer.

The two option sin the Print dialogue are:
Canon Colour matching
or
Colour Sync

I am guessing that I should use Colour Sync. but when I select that, I then have to select a profile..but I am trying to create a profile. so which profile do I start with ...because I need to print with the same profile but I am going to sue in future...but the one I am join got use in future, is not yet created....Chicken- Egg scenario

Anyone know ?

Hi,

I have been a huge fan of Nikon since I started taking photography seriously about 3 years ago.

But after my camera came loose and fell off my blackrapid strap, onto grass from about the height of my hip, and it stopped being able to use any of my D lenses. I sent it in for repair. This took 3 months, and about a month and a half after sending it in and clearly explaining what was wrong with it, I got it back and it still wasn't working. After sending it back, and another month and a half later, I got it back and it was working. The Nikon technician still argued with the camera store guy, that I sent it through, about what was wrong with the camera.
And then about a month later my SB-700, which is about a year and a half old, just died on me at a shoot. (in-case anyone asks, the flash wasn't attached to the camera when it fell.)

I might just not be having the best of luck with my gear, but the experience has left a very bad taste in my mouth. And it sucks, as I love my camera,(its a D7000), and have fought for Nikon in many an argument against my Canon friends, of which I am the only Nikon user.
In the absence of both my camera and flash, a Canon friend let me use his spare camera, 650D, 1 lens and a flash unit. I dont like the viewfinder, the focusing points, the sound the camera makes,(this is a real issue for me, as it takes away from the feeling of capturing something special), where the buttons are, the menus, ect. But what I was getting looked better than what I was getting out of my Nikon. And shooting with roughly the same settings I would have used for my camera in that situation.

So now I am torn between sticking with my beloved Nikon, or moving over to Canon. I have looked at the specs of the cameras in roughly the same price range, 70D 60D and 7D, and compared them to the D7000. Used the website snapsort.com.

Is there anyone that has made the move over from one to the other, in about the same range, that could share some advise?
