Nikon is the Apple of the photography business

[eflat]

Does anyone here not agree with this statement?

Like Apple, they only release products once they are ready to be released.

They sacrafice the latest technology for a more finalized product.

Really, they are to cameras what Apple is to computers.


Now I wonder how many Apple haters shoot Nikon

 

[mdchesne]

leica, more likely

Leika makes digital cameras and has a sizeable market share

more like
quality, precision, expense, reliability, etc. etc.

Cannon is much better then Nikon. Nikon still hasnt come up with an approiate response to the 1Ds Mark II.

Yeah it is a wonderful camera for computer nerds.

And for those that like to update their firmware every week..


edit: oh, is that overpriced full frame POS?

Really DX is the future there is no reason to be using full frame. The light falloff is so tremendous I can't even spell it.

Give me a D2x any day of the week.

But yes, it is true that for the ultimate in resolution you would have to shoot Canon.

My thesis, however, is still correct.

If you want the fastest computer, you would need a PC.

But if you wanted a more stable product for creative work at a reasonable price, you would want a Mac.

Quoting yourself?

I wouldn't agree. Nikon's 950 had a major defective battery door design problem that plagued every single owner of the camera, the result was a useless camera in the field since the door wouldn't stay shut and the battery wouldn't contact reliably. Nikon refused to acknowledge the problem. I wouldn't call them quality, more like junk.

WHY?

What on earth would you need with 16.7 megapixels?

There are not many professional photographers that could makes use of that let alone an amateur computer nerd

Yeah well we have a G5 at our school that shoots CD's accross the room when you try to eject them

I have wanted a DSLR since before I got my A60, but it was all I could afford. If I had that much money, I may as well get the best.

But my next camera purchase will be a DSLR... hence why I still have the A60. I'd like to consider myself an amateur photographer.

Besides, your comment doesen't really make sense. You "use" all the pixels your camera has with each shot you take, amateur or not. The more the merrier.

 

[MikeMike]

i am questioning your use of "reasonable price" and "mac" in the same sentence.

i am also questioning what you can do better on a mac than on a PC

i am also questioning your stability (because Mac's only have to deal with so many setups, windows has to deal with an "infinite" amount of possibilities (it is finite, but its a huge number)

and for that fact, i shoot Canon.

although i will own a Powerbook at some point.

 

[PHiuR]

are you saying Canon is better?

 

[NFS4]

I don't think that either one of them is "beter"

It's like Toyota vs Honda. They are both great car companies and I think that the comparison is pretty fair. Toyota/Canon, Honda/Nikon. Toyota sells more cars than Honda, and makes more money than Honda, but that doesn't necesarily mean that their vehicles are any better than Honda. Same goes for Canon and Nikon if you ask me.

You cannot do anything "better" on a Mac than you can on a PC.

You can just save yourself a hell of a lot of time doing it the same

And for the record, I would venture to say that Logic and Final Cut, the STANDARD music and video editing programs, run a tad bit better on the Mac platform

But if you can get them to work just as well on the PC please be my guest
