If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

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.
Let me add, not only the same technology but also the same camera. Z 7 and Z 9 have vastly different AF systems. Not sure about the R3 vs R5 or the sony systems.In the past it was easy to offer technical/technique advice irrespective of which brand someone was using. In recent times AF has become a big factor in wildlife photography. Since each brand has its own recipe for AF and with a mix of DSLR/MILC in play it has become harder to offer advice to others unless they shoot the same brand and tech(i.e. DSLR/MILC). Add to that the propensity for discussing gear as much/more than photography and it is only natural that photo forums migrate towards a particular brand. Either that or host brand specific sub-forums for the gear talk and separate sub-forums for posting/discussing photography. I'm a member of another site that does so quite successfully and it's really nice to be able to view/comment on photos without brandism entering the discussion. I also participate in another site that is/was brand specific but has a well enough established community with shared respect that as people have switched to other brands they've continued to participate.
I can imagine, I bet your brain was a little bit on overload trying to keep up with 3 different systems. At my age I know I couldn't do it.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.
I personally would love to see more discussion on Canon gear just to get an idea of how they work. A lot of pros shoot with Canon.This forum seems centered on Nikon and Sony cameras and lenses. Are there no Canon users here? I don't read photo magazines or check general camera reviews but I assume Canon is still making cameras and lenses as good as Nikon and Sony. Am I wrong? Or has this forum narrowed it focus to just two brands?
