I think people should start more threads discussing photography and less about gear. Of any brand. But wishes rarely come true.
Actually - I believe Steve shoots Nikon, Sony and Canon...... and seems realistic about the pro's and con's of the various systems.
Photography is photography. Unless the topic is camera specific you should be able to join the discuss and I would most certainly welcome your perspective. Plus I would like to see some canon-specific discussions.
You missed my point. Most of us are here because of his vids and books which used to be geared towards Nikon. If he had written the definitive book on Canon AF, there would be more Canon shooters here. Not passing judgment on a brand, I use them all.
Actually, we decided to give up on Canon this week. Not for any failing on Canon's part, but on mine. I thought I could manage all three systems, but between Nikon and Sony there's just not enough time for anything else. One or the other always has something new and it's tough to keep up as it is. Trying to get Canon in the mix was just adding stress. A little sad to see that stuff go though, just not enough time for everything.
Bill, I somewhat disagree with your assessment, since many issues brought up here are specific to a camera or maker. However, if a topic is general one, it would warrant a general thread. Perhaps the Canon shooters should start more threads that are specific to Canon products?
Dan, I'll bet this wish never comes true, in any venue. I don't recall ever being around any casual conversation where the issue of equipment didn't come up. Going back to my early film days, it seems it was always injected into any converstion about photography. My choice of equipment has often been denigrated by users of other manufacturer's products. I just ignore it, and if it's bad enough, I avoid the source afterwards. I also avoid the same behavior towards others.
What are you talking about. They are the biggest camera seller in the world, by far, and are rapidly gaining against Sony in MILCs. And this is before the R3, let alone the R1 are available to take on the A1.
I accidentally let her use an a1.
It's coming. No one has more new bodies and lenses coming out. They'll replace every single DSLR with a MILC in the next 18 months.
I understand. Since I don't use Canon products, I'm not inclined to respond within such a thread. But don't take that as that I won't read them.
So I guess you have 3 or more a1’s now. I’ve got 2 and my spouse has been using one. I’m about to buy a third one but seeing if the a9III makes sense or not this fall.
