Thanks for your aswer. I'm waiting this model to upgrade my old Fuji p&s.
But now with the latest Canon d550 I (video 1080, high iso, light weight, high Mp) I have big doubts!!

That canon looks like a pretty good deal to me. I just don't like the ergonomics of canons and I have nikon lenses. Good luck with whatever you choose.

It's in progress maybe mid year.
But will announce before.

Not until the FX will be released I think.

Many people do have doubts; Canon is taking DSLR market, Panasonic and Olympus prosumer with Micro 4/3, Panasonic and Sony point and shoots …
I wonder if next Nikon campaign could be “I am Gone”Posted 3 years ago # -
Better line, "I'm not a Mega Pixel and bling whore like Canon."

Where I am. I am actually finding that Nikon seems to be gaining a following. Also other than the sensor, the guts of the Ti2 are a student and consumer cameraas opposed to the guts of the d90 are a pro camera smashed into a consumer body. Most of the Pro's I know have no use for any video although it is a nifty feature...

But you can blame Nikon counting on us faithful users swallowing their lack of effort and development.Posted 3 years ago # -

I am one of those users that you are describing.

I don't think Nikon is lacking, which is where our points of view differ. Nikon has a different development cycle than Canon, get over it. A few years ago Canon users were crying because the D3 was way better than what Canon was offering, now its the other way around. When the D4 comes out, we'll see it swing back the other way. Other than affordable in lenses in the telephoto range I'm very satisfied with Nikon. I don't want more MP, at least not many more, so I don't care.

Canon got one thing right in their DSLR, developing the movie mode few steps further then Nikon. They manged to get other people to do the rest.
Just check: Magic Lantern firmware development at http://groups.google.com/group/ml-devel
and see what I mean.I know a lot of professional photo shooters are not bothered with the movie mode but Nikon could of sold more cameras if they developed the d-move. Remember D90 was the first DSLR that shot HD Movie. If they looked in to it more seriously they could of been on the lead with the D-movie function as well. I know since the release of D90 people went mad about the quality of the video and started to ask Nikon for all sorts of upgrades, if they only listed they could of have people like Trammell Hudson developing firmwares for them.

And I know that NIkon will bring out a killer camera especially the D4 which will go nicely with my F4. But the MOVIE mode has changed our feelings a bit.
People have different needs when it comes to their equipments. For me at the moment it is very important to have a camera that shoots video as well. That's why I compare it to Canon. I like NIKON to be the best in every way not just as a Photo camera.

I understand your desire for better video, but we are all speaking from what we need as individual photographers. It is important to remember that Nikon, and all the other camera makers for that matter, have to cater to a large group of people, with many different needs. Nikon choose to answer the cry from photojournalists, who from what I can see on the net, make up the majority of their high end users. That group wanted better high ISO performance in it's leading cameras, so Nikon did so, rather focusing on developing the video mode more.
I'm not saying that they always make the right choice, for me or for you, but they made one.

The thing is Canon currently has better ISO, better resolution AND better video then D300s (not to mention other cameras) in their lowest cost model d550. I don't use video at all but everything else I would like.
Posted 3 years ago # -
From what I've seen the high ISO on the 7D/T2i is no better than the D300s, moot point IMO.
Posted 3 years ago # -
And the Iso on the Mark IV is worse than the D3s.
Hd video, while cool is "not" a pro feature. And other than that and Mpx the Ti2 has equal or worse iq than the D90 (3.7 frames per second vs the D90's 4.5 fps) , less body controls (you use the crappy menu system vs the ergonomic design of the D90), almost equal quality back LCD (60,000 dots isn't noticeable), (9 point AF vs the D90's 11 point), (22.3mm x 14.9mm sensor vs the D90's 23.6mm x 15.8), both do sensor self clean, The ISO performance is equivalent, both do live view (with lag), and the internal flash controls are more limited on the ti2 than the D90... 18 mpx and HD video doesn't sound so impressive any more. The phrase "better Iq" doesn't sum it up well. While the ti2 is a great entry level model, the evidence is proof that Nikon doesn't have a lot of catching up to do considering that the D90 is almost 2 years behind the ti2. In fact the Canon seems to have just as much as the Nikon!
As a sidenote the psychology of the D90 is more of a pro camera than the "easy" consumer gig of the ti2 (which is why the Ti2 is better set to compete with the D5000 than the D90 and will probably outsell the D90 because of it).

mb, all the tests that I have seen on the net and some of the tests that I my self have done in both cameras Nikon is way better in terms of the ISO. Megapixel now days are jut for the show off. A friend of mime who is a professional photographer takes outstanding pictures, which most of them ends up on city billboards as big as 6m by 4m and he only uses the D100.
The only thing that I sometime find difficult to distinguish between my D300s and Canon 7D is the colours. As far as anything else goes Nikon for me is the camera to have.
As PB mention we all have different needs when it comes to our cameras. At the moment Nikon is focused on the needs of photographers, which they should because they produce photo cameras and not Video.

So true, I had a phone which had a 8 mega-pixels in it, I took some photos with it..... I entered one of them photos in a local competition..... I won..... There were quiet a few contenders in the competition with flagships, The canon ones really amused me as they were, like 10 times the size of my old phone.... ha ha ha haPB PM said:

I don't think we should blame Canon because of video, Nikon started that game with D90 and it is not Canons fault they couldn’t keep it up. And the most advertised “improvement” D300s has over D300 is video, inferior to 7D though, ad they haven’t done anything to improve IQ.
As for ISO performance DXO gives clear advantage to 7D over D300s, I personally do not see it, but quick search over the net gives samples where D300s is in no way superior either. First one is obviously taken with D300s useless NR on, but the rest are good examples IMHO:
Posted 3 years ago # -
Sorry, D300 image looks better to me, for the most part. Sure the 7D has a slight edge due to resolution, but not enough to make me sell my perfectly good D300 over.

You must be wearing one of these so your vision is a little biased ;)

Nope, don't wear glasses, sorry. Considering those are RAW exports, the way the file turns out is based on the RAW exporter you use. Was in camera NR turn on for either camera, etc? IMO, neither file is usable anyway, and I wouldn't use anything over ISO1600 on any crop sensor body sold today.

Anyways the moral of the story is DXO marking is not an ultimate and undisputable authority.Posted 3 years ago #
