I hope this is the case and that the thread will get back on track. Specific discussions between two members should be handled via private message.
Did I miss something? ;-)
A general comment: For various reasons I have been looking into multiple camera brands recently: Canon, Sony, Fujifilm, and (a bit) Nikon.
Looked at from the outside (from one’s own brand perspective) it is easy to see any of those other brands as being remarkably better than whichever one you currently use or to seem them as being remarkably worse. But if you dig into things a bit, getting more feedback from photographers you trust who use each of the brands, talking to people who refuse to get bogged down in “brand wars” nonsense, and having an open mind you discover that:
- All of these brands (and others) currently produce some remarkable photographic equipment that works far better than what we might have imagined a decade or two ago.
- There are excellent photographers producing brilliant work with all of them, and you cannot tell which brand was used based on the photographs they produce.
- Honest users of any brand will tell you that their brand has (or bands have) pluses and minuses, but that it is extremely rare fo any of those to amount to more than a preference based on subjective matters or some specific aspect of their personal photography.
I have not yet looked as deeply into the specific comparison in this thread as some of the participants, but over the past couple of months I’ve started and have learned enough to say that brand and model decisions are virtually never black and white affairs.
