New topic: D70 vs 350D

[litefoot]

KUDOS CANON MARKETING!!

Something Nikon and the Rest of the world should learn..

How about: We put hum jin peng in every Nikon. Sorry OT, I think we need to change the title of this thread. Still no 350D vs D70 in sight.

In the past, when we had only film cameras, I would say, yes, it's about the system and the lenses we prefer. Previously, if I liked Kodak's Ektachrome and Olympus's system, I would go with it. If I decided that Nikon's system works better, I simply switched my system, but I still use my Ektachromes.

Today, the situation isn't quite the same. Say I like Olympus's systems and Zuiko lenses, so I should go with Olympus's systems, right? But is the Olympus sensor as good as Canon's? What if I prefer the sensor ISO performance and color output of the Canon's but still like the Zuiko lenses? What if I was the MP whore and needed the 16MP sensor but insist on Nikkor lenses?

Let's see, I got 9629 posts, if I take 30secs-10mins to reply one, I could have easily 3-64days of shooting time.

Wow.. I spent too much time online. Time to go shoot more.

:bigeyes: That is a lot! I agree, I myself must limit my online time. It's getting to be an addiction which needs the daily 'fix'.

If you are worried about these Canon vs. Nikon discussions, don't worry. In a couple of years you probably won't see them. Judging by what Nikon have been doing in the past year, they are well on their way to becoming an also-ran company. In the future, it will be Minolta vs. Nikon, or Pentax vs. Nikon. After all they all use the same sensor supplier.

ai yoo, situation was the same when using film what. You're assuming everyone uses the 135 film format. But say if you're a Large Format whore but insist on Nikkor lenses? Then how :sweat:

Digital photographer usually post process through computer to achieve the hue and saturation they want. There are photoshop plug-ins that claims to emulate the look of certain b/w and colour film. On the other hand, film photographer choose films, developers and other darkroom techniques.

Alchemy/chemistry versus Algorithms/mathematics. Most photographers are happy shooting many pictures without knowing much of either science.

And some of the higher-end camera provide modes to emulate certain film. These cameras are usually made by film manufacturers. Fuji is a company that comes to mind. I have not tried these cameras yet, but I think they are probably marketing gimmicks. Maybe they are useful shortcuts to photographers who take many shots per session and has no time to adjust each shot by photo processing software. :dunno:

Don't worry, go shooting.

ESPN might agree with me on this one....

Nikon seems to wait for Canon or whatever brand that comes out with something first. Then they wait and see how does the product perform in the market. When they are able to ascertain the numbers, they will then release a new model.

However, a different story came out when we are talking about pro level cameras. D2x vs 1Ds Mk II. Nikon will beat Canon as it has got more features and is able to save cost for professional photographers. But Canon will beat Nikon on the 1DII vs D2Hs. I don't see a reason why 50 frame buffer would make a difference with 40 frame buffer of the 1DII.

Hey, dun you think that Canon seem to introduce 350D to compete with Pentax *istDS... almost the same size and features.they realised that size and weight seem to be important which Pentax were already in it.. with *istD and DS... Canon merely increase its resolution to a 8Megapixels...but still I find *istDS better than 350D.. for its batteries for one thing and lens are much cheaper and yet good.... :thumbsup:

....You do realise that all cameras have a chip (or number of chips) that serve the same purpose ? But, gotta hand it to them for creating a marketing buzzword for it that persuades consumers - "But, does this camera have thingamajig chip, like that one over there ?"

no no, i didn't mean that. i've tried both the 300d and d70, and i find the colour & noise of the 300d better than the d70. i also found digital ixus (v3? can't remember) images good too. maybe with raw & photoshop it doesn't matter, but to a digital newbie & busy person (=me) it's the difference between shooting more and messing around with the computer more. i know which i'd take.

so i don't know how the 350d will be, but if it's like the 300d, i'd prefer the way it processes images (i.e. digic chip?)

There will be no end to comparisons. Every now and then, new bodies will emerge. It's only just a matter of when. What's important to note is that are we more concerned about the constantly changing technology and brand loyalty talk; or should we be more focused on how to improve our photography skills? Let's review our priorities again.

I agree, let's talk less and shoot more

Intel Vs AMD
first there was the Intel Pentium, then the AMD Thunderbird, then got Celeron, then comes the Duron, then the Hyper-threading, then the 64-bit AMD, then got sempron...and the story goes di da di, di da di, di da di da di...

Canon Vs Nikon
First there was 1D, then came the D1...300D, then the D70..now the 350D...and the story goes di da di, di da di, di da di da di...

Loyalty..!!!
Once you are a Liverpool fans, then you are forever Liverpool Fans..

When you come to Nikon or Canon... of course i will go for the one which give me the best results, ...but "$$$$$$" always the main point of ALL....

Anyway.. still one word "You were never walk Alone" :angel:

 

[2100]

Pls shoot more.

Pictures say a thousand words. Its the man behind the camera who will bring out the true beauty of each picture he takes, the camera will only enahnce the picture quality (in a sense). Be it D70 or 350D, it the composition of the photograph that counts.

How you start your photography hobby will also be another determining factor. If you started off with the Nikon system, I would think you will continue to use their digital camera since you have built up your collection of lenses.

Just my thought!
