with the release of 5D MK2, I may consider to adopt 2 system. To me, have a chance to use Legendary 5D series is something I am looking for.Will wait for more report and decide later.(No hurry, I can wait

Anyone here thinking of jumping ship?

Last time I used to think Canon had a good time thrashing nikon with lower prices for lenses and bodies, and much better iso performance, higher MP counts. These are good reasons for ship jumping.
Then as D3, D300, D700 and D90 were released... WOW la. Nikon switched to cmos sensors and iso performance improved dramatically. And true enough, mp counts aren't the most important things..

if you can ignore all the bells and whistles the 5D MK2 is trumpeting, you should be able to pick up the original 5D for a fraction of the price.
iirc, the release was $6K....ouch. you might be able to get it for $1.5K after MK2 is out. :thumbsup:
MK2 release probably $3.5K to teach the D700 a lesson. :thumbsup:
so nikon will have to drop the prices to match canon's. win win for everyone. :bsmilie:
CCD technology has reached its threshold so the switch to CMOS was inevitable. at least now nikon doesn't have to depend on sony for the sensors.

Lol. Used a borrowed low-end Canon EOS to take photos during a farewell dinner. Then tried my friend's D60 and now sold to Nikon. First DSLR will be D90.
One more thing to pull you over to Nikon's every growing ship. Join the Nikon Club and get 3 mths warranty free
. Bet ya that Canon does'nt do this to try and keep their customers.
Yeah its great to know that any second hand old Nikon made lens would work on your new D -series DSLR. Worse come to worse just use MF.

Oh by the way, EF-S lenses won't mount on a 5DII.

Canon provides free coffee and pretty receptionists at their service centre. bet ya nikon doesn't provide this to try and keep their customers
:bsmilie:
Think of it as the other way round.. Sony should be depending on Nikon for the full frame litho steppers. I think they might have an agreement for Nikon to run their own design on their fab in exchange for the stepper? I dunno but the likelihood is there. :dunno:

i believe canon started this additional 3 months warranty when you register online.
I think Nikon doesn't need to.. The 18-200VR is the first time I had to step into NSC in my 20 years of photography. It's Nikon all the way for me because my dad already did the groundwork. He never had good experience with the other brands and finally stuck with Nikon.

i've only been to the NSC once, to have my camera's sensor cleaned. came back with a clean sensor, dirty viewfinder. zzz never been to CSC, only heard about it haha.
So, i wouldn't know about the receptionist heh :bsmilie:

ya lar, they can provide few coffee, free massage, free jacuzzi, free parking, free lunch, free movie, free sweets, free "half ball shows"..... the point is, why need to go service centre in the first place.... :dunno:
i have used paper from canon, epson, HP, konica, kodak and sepom. the worst i used was fullmark. after 72hrs still wet to the touch.
currently only using canon, epson and sepom paper.
take it from me. you are not missing anything except the coffee. :bsmilie:
Try the Fujifilm. But you will need to profile the paper.
sure. will do that. i intend to try ilford as well.
That reminds me.. I still have a pack of Ilford which I have not profiled... Hmm..
