DSLR Cameras

[Taupotreeman]

In a previous life I was the manager of an independant camera shop, both brands are fantastic, and would say that nikon lenses have a slight edge for optical clarity, less pin cushioning, but the down side for me is the way the lenses auto focus- which makes them a bit slower for action shots and AI focusing. I use cannon and love them. If you can afford a L series lens you wont be sorry. A good start is the 17-40L f4 & either a 100-400 IS L or really fast glass is a 70-200L f2.8. Dont scrimp on a bag either, with good seals for dust. Lowpro was our best seller. Also good quality skylight filters to protect the objective lens, a Hoya pro type would be good- avoid jessops type ownbrand filters.

 

I have a trip to New York coming up so it's going to be a visit to B&H and Adorama. So much choice is what gives me a headache.
