Are you serious? What does that matter? What you like him to have shot with? How about looking at the list of publications he has earned with those the XTi and 7D, including Nat Geo. This is the most immature statement I have seen. Im pretty sure you should take a look at his list of achievements on his site rather then the camera he used. The article is simply documenting his switch, not saying which is better, just his personal journey. He has earned a pretty good name for himself, so take a look at what he has achieved rather than what he has shot with. Thank you.

I'm sure he has accomplished a lot but XTI and 7D. Come on now.

What is wrong with the XTi and 7D. I had these cameras at one time and got many fine photos from them.

Nothing wrong with XTi and 7D. That's not my point. I just don't think he has vast knowledge of Canon cameras for him to compare both systems.

I went from film to canon point and shoots for years to a T3i to a Nikon D3200 to a D800.

Nikon has Canon beat no doubt, no wonder this guy made the trip.

If simply possessing the gear is all you think there is to shooting photos, it's no wonder you think someone's thoughts on the subject are irrelevant.

Thanks for posting the link. The photos were very interesting to me as it's a genre that I've not ever tried and those shots are very nicely done, regardless as to the camera used.

The article itself wasn't all that interesting to me. It's pretty much the same as I've read in short posts on this forum, with the bottom line being that the user thinks that the current Nikon sensors are better than the current offerings from Canon. It wasn't that long ago that the opposite types of posts were typical.

Regardless, I intend to explore his site more for info on that genre of photography and to see how he does it with the d800.

thanks
Kerry

His thoughts are not irrelevant, but they are not a personal journey. He bought another camera

I was interested. He shoots the night sky and I have a lot to learn about that.

Thanks for the post Cassario, always good to see a shooter switch to Nikon regardless of what he was using. He could have gone with a mkIII or 1Dx but he chose the D800. I just can't tease my Canon friends too much because of the Rebel .
