That

Canon’s dealing with the 1DMk iii autofucs issue was so much worse and did a lot more to ruin their reputation.

Now lots are reporting focusing issues with the 5D ii

Hmmm, spend 8k on a Nikon body, or 8k on a cannon and 3 top end lenses to go with and still get change back. Good idea Nikon.

I do pro arch viz photography. Simply put, My clients want the megapixels for high res prints.Im sick of having to stitch images together or scale stuff up. If Nikon carnt get a serious answer to the MKII in terms of a FF high res camera, then im going to sell my d700 and nikon glass. ive been waiting almost a year….no more.

I agree that H.264 is a rocking codec, but I’ve seen better D90 sample video than what’s shown here. I doubt this is the pinnacle of video quality from this camera.

A service recall is a scandal? No, a scandal would be if they pretended the issue doesn’t exist. The fact that Nikon addressed it is a testament to their customer service.

Seriously, why are you here?

What are you talking about? The “answer” (as if Canon is asking a question) to the 5D MKII is not the D300s, it’s the D700 or its successor. Why would a much cheaper camera (the D300s) be the “answer” to the 5D MKII?

And why are you even here if all you can do is make nonsensical comparisons to skew your own opinion?

I am only able to handle just ONE camera at a time, how about you?

Get a grip (in a literal sense) on the 5D Mark II: Move the grip. Yes, it MOVES. It shouldn’t, but it does. It’s not a stable body in a literal sense. And Canon does NOTHING about it.

getanalogue, I call an EOS 20D my own, and up the EOS 40D (which came out too early for an upgrade) i was looking forward to the 50D. Now look at the in-depth-reviews at dpreview.com: The 50D has far worse per-pixel-detail compared to the 40D, the highlight headroom is less than with the 40D and so on. Although I got three lenses for the 20D, i will switch to Nikon if the Canon EOS 60D does not return to sane pixel numbers.

…and forgot to mention about their quality problems: Look at their second D5000 service recall – a scandal. Even their quality image is spoilt! Maybe Canon acquired Nikon secretly? They couldn’t have done any better job to destroy Nikon.

Nikon lost. Everyone is buying Canon, for several reasons, for many reasons. No way for Nikon to keep up. They are making 80% sales on cameras, but only answer to canon’s FF cameras is a D300s!!! Unbelievably stupid and ignorant. They should go bankrupt, we could sell our Nikon gear to collectors for appropriate prices, at least.

Just ordered the nikon 14-24mm, 50mm 1.4g, and pre ordered the new 70-200mm vrII. So im kinda committed to a nikon full frame camera now. I was so close to convincing myself that should just buy the d700. I would be so upset if nikon announced the d700x next month if that was the case. So here I am, with soon to be 5k worth of lenses, and no camera except my old d80 to use them on! Come on Nikon, atleast drop some hints for the d700x as you did with the d300s, which had pics and details up more than a month before it was even announced.

Excellent point Ted – I’ve already gone out and bought a canon 5d2 and a couple of lenses cause I couldn’t wait any longer. Heaps of people I know who have never even had an SLR are buying the 5d2 and lenses because of the video – not for happy snaps but for serious commercial, web and art work. It’s a dog to use and feels like a toy compared to pro Nikons but what is the alternative? D700x might be last chance to tap into this new market – might be too late already – Nikon lenses can go on canon (well some can) but once you invest in Canon lenses there’s no going back – remember what happened when canon went AF? C’mon Nikon – hurry up!

The canon 5d2 has an even crappier CF door – in fact the whole camera is very plastic build – D700 feels like a D3x in comparison….doesn’t seem to affect the pictures or video though … And as others have noted d700 has exactly the saem door….who cares?

Dude,
the Sony A850 is already in production will be out announced v shortly.
Somehow i dont think the d700x, even if it comes out this year will be anywhere near the $2000 mark. I know its aimed at a different market, but Nikon has nothing that i know lined up to match this price point for a high res F camera.
