Jerry you make a very good point, and probably the very reason Canon keeps pumping out 18MP APS-C sensors: many people don't want the burden of high MP handling and storage, and 18MP is quite a lot compared to 10 years ago.
And you touch on another interesting point: rather than try to re-invent the wheel, why not buy a readily available 1D3 (or 1D4, or 1D2!, if one can handle the video opportunity of the IV), and go to town taking some really gorgeous pictures with a much better body than the 5-series.
The tools are there.
And then there is Nikon. . . sorry! I can't help it! ...Show more →
Jim, I've a life long friend, well he's pretty much family, that's a diehard Nikon shooter. He's a family man, 4 kids, numerous GCs, and he shoots both stills and videos. On a recent visit he had some time with my 7D; he has a D7000. His comment after some shooting was 'I wish my Nikon shot video this easy...damn Canon.' It's the LCD, Liveview, their higher quality, and that you can change all three aspects of the exposure triangle and see the change instantly; and without having to go to a menu...
Other than the above he likes everything else, always will. He's very serious about images...of his family. And like many consumers doesn't have a big budget for said hobby. Preserving moments in time, still or moving, is the objective, refining the image to a point, for that perfect memory...not pixel
FM is an 'artists' community, hobbyist and pro, that mix brings with it different needs/wants and at time spirited discussion/debate. None the more important, just the image...in whatever form pleases!
Tools indeed...
Jerry
