- you don’t know how to use your equipment.

- error 99′s are a normal feature.

- Nikon have errors as well, so it’s normal for Canon to have them.

- there is nothing wrong with the auto focusing system, it’s your fault.

- quality control costs money (as mentioned previously).

- it’s normal to recalibrate your lenses, even from a “L” range lens.

- lens hood are additional accessory and should be sold separately.

as we can see, circular reasoning and lying is a trait of the Canon fanboys and of Canon executive.

what I find most insulting is that a once great leader in photography will sell faulty DSLR cameras in exchange for your hard earned cash. Canon are seriously taking you for a bunch of fools, wake up people, there are alternatives.

slow moving subject and me stand still and one of a couple shots there’s a out of focus picture. totally unexpected.

turning back to my E3 + Zuiko 12-60 SWD, I now know how lucky i am. On other specs and functionalities Nikon/Canon got higher ends products but just for AF, canon disappointed me.

Lets face it, Nikon has been in trouble for a very long time, especially when the Canon 5D came out. I’m just glad we finally have our own 12 Megapixel Full Frame camera.

Lets see what Canon does next year, I hope Nikon keeps challenging them so both sides have good products.

I don’t think I’ll be using this site to read up on anything new about Canon though haha. The bias is too uncontrolled and slightly makes Mr. Donk look insecure. If Mr. Donk is a Nikon user like me, then I would suggest that there is no need for such animosity. You might own both Nikon and Canon but you’re also very transparent in which direction you lean. Making your reviews hard to read.

Im now actually enjoying Photography again and not worrying if the lens i buy is gonna give me focussing issuses, or if the body going to fall on me as both the body & lenses i currently own from Olympus have been spot on.

Regardless of the camera I’m using, I love photography and that’s the bottomline.

…… but then again, if your company is promoting a flagship product then it must be really good. So far Canon has failed in this area

Canon need to improve themselves, the rumors say they will release new Bodies this month.
Just wait and see…

It’s your blog, so you roll how you will.

These are the facts. Nikon has introduced some really nice products of late. Their attack on the upper end of the market this year has been definitive and has yielded fantastic results. But it was a long time coming, wasn’t it? In the meantime, Canon has released two killer entry level DSLRs, for which Nikon has no answer, save their spiff programs at the retail level.

So, at Photokina, Canon will answer with some new high end stuff, bearing in mind that the highest of the high end dslr, the 1Ds Mark III, has yet to be challenged. In turn, Nikon will bring the D90, and maybe announce the new D3 upgrade. And all this will start again.

I shoot Canon. My stuff is every bit as sharp as anyone’s out there. Guarantee it. And I’m not switching.

Let’s talk about 40D. It’s images are overally very soft. Then I mean very soft. It’s like it lack great deal of sharpness.

But the most defected thing about this camera is the fact it has a very stupid IQ and marketing issue. They do advertize it as a consumer camera. The settings on the main knob has a lot of fully automatic settings, but in every one of them, the AF-mode is 9-point mode. Mode which select focus closest to the camera with most contrast.

So when at least 50% af Canon 40D users take pictures, the focus is not on the subject, it’s somewhere else where the camera choose to have it.

If this isn’t stupid when produce a camera for consumer, what is?

IGNORANT AUTHOR!!!!!
