NASA buying more D3s and 14-24mm/f2.8


oh well isn't the answer the same as y u bought a canon huh??
debating this is like a chicken and egg issue.
i wouldn't canon's inferior neither would i say nikon's the best. Its just a choice. SUCK IT
 

There is aways a saying, Nikon is an engineering company & Cannon is marketing company. But apart from that, we cannot deny both company produces good camera and lens for consumer level which is what we care most. Just surf around you can see pictures produce from both cannon and nikon. User of the camera determine how good the picture going to be.

Between the 2 systems, the only weak link is a person who doesn't know what to do with the camera.
 

Why they didn't buy Canon?

If NASA had bought Canon, you would be asking "Why not Nikon"?

They had to choose one, and it may have nothing to do with imaging (e.g. politics, procurement regulations, backwards compatibility, familiarity, etc.)
 

Can someone tell NASA that it is the person behind the camera that matters and not the equipment? :D
 

Actually all this technology thing about branding, etc, does not really concern very essentially or is very very important, if you are a good photographer, you should focused on how to shoot better insteading of thinking of this brand or that brand...like this, this is not a photography forum anymore...

Even if NASA buys Nikon doesn't mean any harm to Canon. However again, even if Nikon is totally better than Canon, doesn't mean much to your own photography, so what if you are using a Nikon or Canon camera? Many pros use Nikon and many other pros choose Canon, but how would judge who is better, as in which pro is better than the other? We would most likely judge by comparing their works. Even though the camera quality plays a certain part in this, but overall how good the photo is, is still determined by the photograph itself which shows how good the photography is.

Of course since this is a rather techinical sub forum about Nikon, it's understandable to have this discussion, but I just pity when we lose our focus on photography due to branding biasness...which is pointless.
 

Agree

This proves that Nikon is the best for Land-escape photo shooting.
Nope... It means that Nasa likes shooting low-light landscapes.
 

Well, they have made a mistake in 1970s and no choice, have to keep using that system now...

Haha. No offence to nikon users, just a joke.

cuz they think a Cannon is too heavy to bring into the space. so no choice have to use Nikon.
Oops I made a mistake. Oh well.

No offence to Canon users, just a joke :D
 

similarly, why did Fujifilm choose Nikon D200 body to make it Finepix S5 Pro DSLR?
Why not Canon? ;p
 

Nikon is under Mitsubishi Group of companies. Mitsubishi is a giant company in japan, can produce resources easily and financially stable, this company is producing plenty of products from pen to rocket...not only cameras and lenses.
 

I wonder what cameras the Soviet-era cosmonauts used :think:
