Which equipment/brand do you use?

I've become sorta friendly with a Nikon D-50 and almost like it.

I think Nikon glass is much better than Canon. but ultimately its the eye looking throught the glass.:)

Dont know what your talking about, but sounds awesome!:sweeet:

I have a canon digital rebel (not an XT, I have an older model)

I'm sticking to canon's now, since I have lenses meant for that one, but Nikon seems to be just as good or better.

right here is why canon is better:

not to mention it took nikon 6 years to put a CMOS censor inside their DSLR's, unfortunately it is only in their two top models.

Oddly enough when I did the research for buying my rebel, all of the camera review places said that the sensor was better on the canon than the nikon. I haven't seen any statements like that in years though.

It is ;) That and Canon's been breaking good grounds, with their new sensors...right now they have a 21+ MP sensor...something Nikon could only drool over for the time being.

well megapixels dont make or break a camera. and the more megapixels you cram into a sensor, the more noise you can have.

Schlyne, the reason being is that canon uses CMOS sensors which process images much better than CCD sensors. Nikon finally caught on w/ the D300 and D3. But these cameras are $1800 and $5000.

The canon 5D is 3 years old, 12.7 MP and a full frame sensor. Even though the technology is considered "old" it still pretty much out performs anything out there under $2200.

I will never switch to nikon, just due to the fast primes canon offeres: 35 f/1.4, 50 f/1.2, 85 1.2, 135 f/2...and if it weren't for having an intern, i would probably sell all of my zooms.

I have a friend who is a wedding photog who is a nikon shooter...everytime we talk, I get the vibe she is one ste closer to switching over to nikon.

Im a Nikon guy :)

New to photography so I got the Nikon D40 with 18-55mm and the 55-200vr.

It has been an awsome camera so far. Stoked to get snakes so I can photography them.
