Err....we dun even noe what the specs will be like...let alone that there will really be a model called 300D....so how to compare? Just got to sit tight and wait for an official announcement from Canon or something...

Sigh ! The under exposure problem is not even sloved with the new firmware. The tech guy said it could be sloved with a new firmware. How come nikon has not done anything about this for so long?

Current user fine this a pain ?!

Ask yourself this question -> When you face a situation whereby you can't capture the whole dynamic range of a scene (with the two mentioned dslr models)....Would you rather over expose or under expose your shots? :wink:

yeah the idea of unexpose is so that u have greater lattitude to do post processing. if u are the sort who wants pics out of cams straight jpg, then it wont be for u. if u are the post processor, then it will work better foru.

D100 TTL is only good when you bounce the flash.. as for color profile wise, UNLESS you have color management by spyder or gretag mcbath. else not much use.
** didnt know D100 mirror was faster.. i always thought D60/10D was faster than D100

one major plus point for nikon.. cuz the AF is EV-1, Nikon has the ability to focus on dark much better than Canon.

 

[pureflow]

also D100 has Dynamic focus.. meaning that D100 with the 5 sensors, will select the closest object.. **not sure if canon can do this.

The colorspace for Nikon shows that it intend that the pictures taken to be printed. No photographer who earns money from print would consider anything less than using ARGB as the range of colors captured by sRGB is signifcantly smaller than that which is printable. In fact sRGB is the lowest common standard for colors.

The calibrating devices that you mentioned is to ensure WYSIWYG for the color accuracy. If it is not important, why did Canon implemented it (badly) on the 10D, and is present on the 1D and 1Ds?

It is not necessarily true that the MiniLab (Kodak/Fuji) color profile IS BIGGER or EQUAL to that of ARGB. It is more like overlap. BUT SRGB is smaller than ARGB.

When I refer to print, I don't mean these mass commercial MiniLabs but large format prints or even Epson 2100. CMYK is NOT with sRGB so many 4/6-color printer like the 2100 can print more than sRGB. The Durst Lambas also have a larger gamut as well.

I forgot to add: if you choose a smaller gamut, the information is lost forever (or at least, cannot be guranteed to be recreated). Sure, you may want only to print on the minilabs now, but who knows, a few years later when the printers with bigger gamut comes out or you decide to print on a sublim printer or they want print your photo. Then what?
