FD, yes. EF, not really but EF was the fastest AF then because Nikon didn't have AF-S yet.. AF-I lenses were very expensive.. ;p

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I bought a Canon dSLR because I was utterly new and my friend could get a discount.
While Canon has its own pro, if I had known then what I know what, I guess I probably would have gone the Nikon way earlier.
Oh well, no use lamenting... just hope to get what I want soon.
yes...gotta look forward to the swtich to the Dark Side... BBB...:devil:

That was only the 9fps clip. You should hear the 11fps one. ;p
Hmm...i bought Nikon cos i'm used to Nikon as i started with a Coolpix 4500. The friend who gave me the coolpix actually wanted to buy me a Canon S40.(or was it S45?) So if that was the case, would i buy a Canon DSLR instead especially when back then, most people i know suggested that i should buy Canon DSLRs. Anyway, i :heart: my Nikon gear.

Agree 100%...I am in the midst of selling my Canon gears...

I agree with what you say here. The two most important factors to me are AF accuracy and QC control. Nikon actually had lots of front/back focus issues during the D70 era, but they learn their lesson well and most of their current products work reliably straight out of the factory. Canon, on the other hand, never seems to learn from mistakes. I need to get ALL Canon lenses calibrated each time I purchase a new Canon body. No joke. :cry:
On the other hand, although Nikon is quick to recognize the camera needs of photographers, they seem to employ a rather strange road-map for their lens line-up. Why all the fuss about entry level lenses, one after another (18-70, 18-200, 18-55, 16-85, 18-105)? They should have focused their attention on prime lenses and more importantly more VR lenses. Why they chose not to include VR in their 17-55 f/2.8 and 24-70 f/2.8 lenses is a mystery to me.
The day Nikon releases a 17-55 f/2.8 VR and 70-200 f/4 VR, let me know. I will jump in immediately, lock, stock and barrel. :bsmilie:

I also started with Coolpix 4500...now I am going back full circle...
yes, I will change to Nikon in 2 weeks' time. Still need to sell off 2 lenses and 1 cam body!

HI
6. I like colors from Canon better than Nikons. Having said that, I can simulate similar colors in Nikon in post-processing. Which is one extra step in the total processing.
been Nikon user since film days and was on D70; D2X.... almost wanted to switch to Canon because I really like the color. However D3 pull me back in with superb high ISO noise control and FX sensor...
can you share what exactly you do on post processing to simulate canon color the way you see it?
cheers...

Hmm what is the definition of Canon colour? I know Nikon tends to be warmer (more yellow), so does that mean Canon is colder (more blue)?
