I am currently using D7000 borrowed from my dad and thinking of getting a system for myself.
With not much investment already made to lens I have the flexibility of making a choice between Nikon and Canon.
Namely 5D Mark 3 and D800.
I read around and found like plenty of comparison but I am still kind of stump.
There is only 3 things I am truly interested in getting the Camera for, travel, portrait and product shoot. I am thinking of the system and 1 travel lens (28mm to 300mm) for a start to be under 6000.
I really love the color on canon, it is just so natural but people seems to comment quite a bit on their auto focus and low light auto focus since it does not have the auto focus light and also auto white light balance seems so accurate.
For nikon, I love how sharp it is, everything seems so clear and how snappy the focus is. But its auto white light balance seems off and so is the color of the image taken. A secondary thought is the cost of usage, since being a high megapixel camera, it will require me to buy quite a bit of memory cards for travelling trip.
I understand that some of the stated problem can be fixed by post processing so I been thinking if I should just focus on which company have better lens for the usage I am aiming for and just ignore whatever downside of the system I am buying and hope I get used to the quirk.
On the side note, which system have better VR on their lens, this is pretty important feature for me since I hand hold most of the shots and some low light environment make life hard for me.
Another line of thought is just get a high end dx like d7000 and use FX lens and wait until I find a suitable system that I like but I think there is much disadvantage is doing so and I am kind of concern how different is the weight for a D7000 and D800 with a similar reach since I want to do travel with it, not just studio and portrait.
