When the Nikon D7100 was announced, I was definitely impressed by pretty much every one of it’s features. Namely, this is by far the most affordable camera body to EVER have flagship autofocus, of any DSLR manufacturer ever.
Canon shooters, photography enthusiasts, aspiring pros, …are you on a quest for the ultimate DSLR? You’ve probably already upgraded once or twice. You traded in your Rebel for a 40D, or a 7D. You traded that in for a 5D, or a 5D mk2…
Have you ever gotten sucked into one of those crazy camera debates, either Nikon vs Canon or something along those lines, and people start throwing around the phrase “it’s just a matter of preference, and the “feel” of the camera” …And you realized you didn’t have any REAL, SOLID REASONS for preferring the “feel” of your Nikon D700? “It’s what I’m used to” is actually a pretty weak excuse, when you actually think about it. Just because I learned to drive on a Toyota, that doesn’t mean I should forget about all other car brands!
So, we finally have two affordable full-frame cameras from Canon and Nikon. A little over three years after Sony brought out their $1999 A850 beginner full-frame DSLR with a 24 megapixel FF sensor, Canon’s 6D is 20 megapixels and $2100, and Nikon’s D600 is 24 megapixels and also $2100.
The Fujifilm X-E1 has almost everything that made the Fujifilm X-Pro 1 popular, from its cool retro form factor to the highly-acclaimed APS-C X-Trans CMOS Sensor, but at a $1,000 price tag entry point.
I learned that Pye’s good friend, Kevin Jairaj, is also one of the photographers for the Olympic Media Summit. And in fact, there are actually plenty of other photographers and photos from that 2012 Team USA Media Summit shoot. Check out some of the shots that Kevin took.
As professional photographers, I think the question we get the most from budding amateur photographers is, “Which camera system should I buy, Canon or Nikon?” While there is no clear cut answer, this article will assist you in coming to a decision of which system and brand better suits you.
