 p.3 #2 · any advice from canon convert? | |
I made the switch from Canon to Nikon. But given that Nikon lineup had lenses that I wanted that were too expensive or did not offer the lenses I wanted, I ended up using both systems.
5D+24-70+70-200mm is replaced with D700+24-70+80-200AF-S. Quite frankly, I prefer the Nikon D700 over the 5D (or 5D Mk II) anyday. Personal preference. The Nikon 14-24 & 24-70 are much better than the Canon 16-35 and 24-70L. The Canon 70-200mm f2.8 is about the same as the Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 AF-S with the slight edge going to the Canon. The other big advantage Canon has is the f1.2 lenses and the 24mm f1.4 and 35mm f1.4L (something not available with Nikon AF). The Canon 35mm f1.4 L is one of the best 35mm large aperture primes I have ever used. The 24L is excellent.
In my case, the Canon system works for sports and nature while the Nikon system covers everything else. Nikon flash system is superior to what Canon has to offer and their Matrix metering is a lot easier to handle. Finally, the colors are very nice on the Nikon - again - for my tastes.
