Does anyone do that?
I\'ve read today on POTN (quoting reports on Nikon forums) that some D3/D3S users are having such a tough time getting the AF to acquire in low light that they\'re having to resort to MF...
Oh - and while the D3S got a score of 89% on DPR, the 7D got 91.6%...
I don\'t think anyone produces a perfect camera, but it seems that Nikon comes a lot close than Canon. I couldn\'t care less about video, I\'m a lot more interested in what \"still\" features the body offers. Nikon also can\'t control sensor development the way Canon can, but Nikon does take the time to issue body updates - that\'s a plus.
I like the D3 series, but only a noob would think it a perfect camera. From everything I\'ve read, I\'d be willing to bet that it misses focus as much as the Canon 1D4, but since I don\'t own either camera I\'m just guessing.
I also saw DRP\'s 89% but it\'s the words that matter; read it and it\'s pretty hard not to see that any \"minuses\" are nullified and they can\'t praise it enough. That aside, what\'s a \"Gold award\"? I\'ve never seen one of those before.
