Re: What do you like/dislike about Nikon?


Now that this thread is in an appropriate place instead of troll baiting in the Canon forum:

Likes:
-D3s/D700. My two favorite Nikon bodies that just fits right in your hand. The d4 and d800 never felt right and seems like I needed to hold them firmly to get a good grip.
-Big fat pixels on the D3s/D700 that make photos look organic like the 5Dc
-14-24mm is just amazing. Canon\'s 16-35ii is pretty meh
-DX lenses are way better than their EF-S counterparts, build quality and performance-wise (ex. 17-50)
-built-in Intervalometer
-24-70mm for the longest time was unmatched until the Canon\'s slightly better 24-70mmII was released
-Legacy lenses
-Teleconverters

Dislikes:
-Fragile zoom mechanisms.The 14-24s and 24-70s get stuck so often when I used to work at a gear rental company that they spend a lot of time in repair
-Rubber zoom rings tend to undo themselves over time
-Fragile mounts. This little screw stopper thing on the lens mount would undo itself easily, then if you accidentally turn the lens the other direction when mounting, you will have one hell of a time taking it off. Oh, and the arm that engages the diaphragm will be bent and completely go out of spec.
-Super expensive superteles. A used Non-VR 400mm f/2.8 cost as much as a Canon 400mm f/2.8L IS
