macAttack said:Please, look at any professional sporting event. Better yet, look at the pictures. Even if the employers give the cameras to the photographers, they wouldn't use them if they didn't like the results. If you depend on being paid to take pictures, you're not using a crappy camera.

ecapdeville said:Hi!, nice option! I have the 350D (RebelXT) in black, I LOVE IT!
I didnt know you can have a smaller price because of the "color" of the body, here in mexico it cost the same.
Of course the black is better, silver LOOKS cheaper and with the use the color tends to wash a little bit.
This is my 2nd post in this forum!..hello to everybody

But if you look at people doing more in the field PJ and studio work you will quickly see more Nikon than Canon. Both have advantages... Canon may have better telephotos but at the same time they have worthless wide angles (I'm speaking from painful experience).... an area that Nikon does quite well in....
Again to make blanket statement is just silly. It all depends on what you are shooting.
Bonzaisushi said:really? i think the 10-22 is one of the best lenses i have used. for a crop body camera, and the 16-35, is a great lense for the 5d, and 1d. i just got sick of shooting with the d70. so i left nikon bitterly
yeah, on the higher ISO settings, I've seen surprisingly little grain on the Canon's. I haven't had a chance to use one of their DSLR's yet though. I heard Canon's are more expensive in the long run if you shoot with multiple lenses, as many people have told me that the D70s standard lens is one of the best out there, and out-does the standard Canon lenses. So, to get equivalent shots, I'm told you'd need to purchase a better lens for the Canon.pmadis01 said:i love my orignial Rebel, the equivialent of the D70 in my opinion
My program uses the D50, 70 and Rebel, and the most common are d70's and rebels, one is not better than the other, they are equal cameras. The Rebel is a little better in low light i've found, plus i like the menus better than the nikon, but then some of my friends like the nikon menu's better so it's all personal preference if believe.

Ergonomics are huge, and everyone will have their own take on how any given camera body will fit in their hands. Holding one is the best thing to do, any camera your thinking of getting.I will probably stay Nikon as I just feel that overall they are more user friendly, and have much better designed camera bodies when it comes to feel and comfort IMO. (at least at the entry and semi-pro level)
I will strongly disagree here. Nikon has commited themselves to the DX format and has no where to go with it. You cannot fit more pixels into the same sized sensor without having noise issues. I recently had several RAW images sent to me shot with different Canon bodies to compare with my own gear and have to say that the 5D, 1Ds Mark II, and 1D Mark IIn camera bodies do much better at high ISO than either the D200 or D2x. Nikon will not improve upon this unless they change sensor format to something like Canon's 1.3x on the Mark IIn or full frame. This alone may have me switching over in the not too distant future, as I like to shoot with higher ISO's and would like to have more detail in the images after noise reduction.I will say that for a good while, Nikon had some significant noise problems at high ISOs. However, Nikon has made great improvements in this area and I expect them to only get better at it. My D200 performs great all the way to ISO 1000. (I rarely go above that) Canon and the CMOS sensor generally have and still do (but not by much now) preform better at high ISOs, especially with the Full Frame sensored 5D and 1Ds Mark II.
However, I do not think Canon has better glass than Nikon. I am not sure which brand has more choices, but as for quality I think Nikon has the edge. And I am not alone there. Hence Canon bodies having an adaptor available to mount Nikon glass on the Canon body. There is no adaptor the other way around. Also there is no "top of the line" Nikon glass as Canon has with their "L" series. All Nikon glass, is top of the line glass.
