Hey chill! Lets not start a flame war.

Back to topic. Either camp, you cannot go wrong. Weight which has lenses which are more valuable/important to you. And of course the "feeling" of the camera. Cheers:D
 

Agreed, both are great cameras. Ask yourself, of all the features these 2 camera, will you be able to fully utilize the features they both offer? Do you really need the 51 point auto focus? Do you really need the 15 mega pixel?
 

That was uncalled for.

is very obvious that he is a fan of canon (just look at his nick), so much that he even post in nikon section to promote canon products.

I can assure you that this post was accidental and preventable. As you can see this was the only post posted in Nikon subforum so "promoting canon's product" is uncalled for. And i've already apologized to boot.

About my nick, i admit i was in a fix when deciding which nick to used, so i used an obvious one.Should you say that to users too who put Nikon part or fully in their nicks?

But he was quite neutral in the post in question where he got labelled "Canon fanboy". Let's be fair. There is nothing wrong in either system. I post in Canon subforum too. I don't see anything wrong with comparing features, pros and cons of competing products. We do that all the time. :dunno:
 

Canon fanboy

I have respect for you, so i wont make my post sound like a personal attack.

So, when you keep talking about your D∞X everywhere and out of the Nikon subforum(FYI, the joke thread about free ticket to Mars) should the phrase "Nikon Fanboy" be applied to you too?
 

id say, go with the system that you have many friends using. then at least you can learn from each other and borrow each other's gear.


or you could just jump to nikon :)
 

hey man i used to be a canon user[6hour ago].I have just change my 400d canon system to the d300 nikon system.I have totally no regrets.Nikon stuff can cheaper compare to canon bro.haha i should seriously consider.The 50d have slower fps then 40d anyway.

Yeah, being 0.2 fps slower absolutely kills the deal.

Have fun with your new camera.
 

follow where your heart leads you....and be happy!! you already have the thought to upgrade so it's just a matter of time. even though if you were to switch system, it's just a matter of having to go thru the additional trouble to sell the lens and other peripherals....
you still can earn back those $$$.... most importantly, buy what you desire and be happy with it, no point keep wondering and pondering, comments here are opinion from others, best is to have hands-on of the products that you shortlisted and decide for yourself!! bottom line, you know what you like best!

+1
Agree wholeheartedly ;)
 

you DID post in the Nikon forum after all.

a point of note. 50D or D300 is a question many people are asking. in many aspects they are similar.

Do consider lenses as well, you can get great iso performance from a Nikon, but you cant use any L primes. you can use L primes with a Canon, but you sacrifice the great wide angles that nikon makes.

buy a brand that FITS your style of shooting. NOT based on what people are saying.

i shoot landscape and low light on a cropped camera.

i go for a canon due to the 10-22. and i dont need high ISOs, i use Fast primes for my low light. Nikon (iirc) does not have an auto 35/1.4, while the 35L is an excellent lense

i hope you know what you want to shoot, because deciding which to buy based on camera performance alone isnt too good an idea.:D

Good luck and happy shooting!:thumbsup:

Sorry, borrow this threat for a quick question.
Mrhobbit, I am looking at the nikon and canon system too and is particularly interested in the wide angle lenses.

You mentioned that nikon has great wide angles but you went for canon 10-22.

Do you mind enlightning me more on this? Thnks :)

Nikon has the excellent 14-24 2.8 which is unmatched by any Canon wide-angle. prob is, it costs a bomb!
 

alamak just go for the 11-16mm tokina which u can slap on either a canon or nikon.. hahahaha
 

Buy Pentax lah ...... you new user ............. anyhow bullshit you also can ............. :bsmilie:

No bullshit. Pentax is good. :thumbsup: But he looking for better flash system.
 

This thread is great. It leaves the TS more confused than ever :bsmilie:
Since it is quite ridiculous to make a decision basing on the comments here, having strong feeling on either camp, the best way is to go to the shop, take a look at the 2 cameras and decide there and then. Since both are equally good, you will surely not be disappointed whichever you choose. The important thing is you must like it. Go forth and BUY :p
 

Just stick with your Canon gear and get the 50D. However you sure will be welcomed to the Nikon camp any day of the week if you have the cash :).
P.S. I think the D300 is better :)
