-------------- it has come to my attention that there are two
distinct owners of both the Canon and the Nikon in this class of
camera.
Your question about “good” samples has cropped up from time to time
and when I initially bought my D100 and complained, I was shown a
lot of work.
I’ve made my choice but this subject continues to fascinate me and
my conclusion is this ~ for whatever reason, I think there are more
photographers attracted to the Canon, who were already well versed
in photography and continue with the D60 to produce good work and
are knowledgeable enough to see the difference – anytime I am
looking for real technical knowledge I hang out in the Canon forum
for instance – a higher proportion of working and responding
professionals post here more than anywhere else ~ as far as I’ve
noticed.
On the other hand we seem to have a “weekend driver” brigade who
simply want to “own” a Nikon, seemingly a far, far higher
proportion of D100 owners did not own any camera or camera of
significance ~ this very phenomenon was foisted on the D30 in the
early years too if one remembers.
I have to admit that when I was doing the “which camera” I was
shown beautiful, inspiring photographs from the D60 but I was
directed to embarrassing rubbish from more and very excited D100
owners.
So my very brief and not serious take on owners:
Canon = Dedicated to achieving the best with knowledge to spare.
Nikon = A lifetime’s ambition to own a Nikon – They need glasses
to read the manual and a Canon owner to explain it to them.
Fuji = Bone idles who want the camera to do all the work and
they wear starched white shirts. ------
