Are there posters in the thread who meet that definition? I only skimmed the four pages, but I haven't noticed them. I see people who haven't gone into any detail about their personal choices, but that doesn't mean they're afraid to offend someone or refuse to give an opinion.
I'd say most of them are. Why else write, "They're all good, just pick what you want."
While I agree with the Oder of Canon, Nikon and Sony, DR seems to be addressed, with Canon actually at the top.
Because they feel that's a correct answer. Your inference of fear being a motivation is only your opinion. Refusal is a strong term, implying that if the OP asked for more data it would not be offered. In other words, you presume too much.
That may be the case, so you do get points for going into detail to serve the OP.
Again, that's only your opinion.
Of course it is. Read my signature.
The OP says that it is the case.
Again, read my signature.
What systems do you use and why? What are your likes and dislikes? What do you envy from the other side? Do you use a sony or nikon or camon mirrorless?
I have signatures disabled. My opinion is that they're mostly annoying.
They are a vestigial annoyance from the AOL era. I think I'll put my gaming rig specs back in mine as an homage. But let's step back and give some thanks. At least we don't have to suffer signature photos here.
I like them. It is a better reminder of what the poster said in other conversations than just a user name.
Guys I am sorry to interrupt. I was wondering if you could tell me what system you use and what do you like about it. Or why do you find any of the systems i am interested in attractive and why. If you started over what would you buy with your own money?
I've seen your previous replies to other posters. You're looking for the latest generation full frame gear and you strongly prefer Nikon and you're deeply concerned about future viability - is that correct?
I understand your point and i admire your passion with what you do. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to my wants. I do realise that what i ask comes out as GAS but my setups are very minimalist. I try to find the best system that will help me achieve my desired photo. I am not just looking into the bodies but the lenses too. Are the lenses of good quality? Is the af of nikon as bad as youtubers say (i know that is exaggerated but i have to ask)? is there any aspect of your camera or the system in general that would hinder you from creating?
As I figured.
Perhaps, like me, other posters in the thread simply realize that they can't contribute much to your personal quest.
I am mostly asking for their experience with the system they use right now. Especially if they use the aforementioned cameras. I have my answer to my other questions.
I spoke to the EF/RF lens catalogue, but I forgot to mention the lenses that you specifically asked about.
Wow, that is an expensive option - but if that is the case, go for a Hasselblad/Fujifilm/PhaseOne medium format type system.
Yes. Modern lenses are very good, plus you can use any old classics on mirrorless. I personally hold to the idea that there are no bad lenses, just lenses that are a bit more difficult to use, or which have a certain 'character'... but if you are looking for sharp contrasty and fast focusing, any system will deliver.
Of course not - even if it isn't as good as the best of the competition, it is still going to be effective in most situations - after all people did manage to take good photographs with film-era AF, or even with manual focus.
My talent is the limiting factor. I would expect that to be the case with most photographers.
If you are affluent then you can afford that. You get more for your money if you are prepared to have last year's model, but if money is no object...
The D810 would be a great option if the price is right. I don't think anyone wwould feel very limited by such a camera.
Because for OP's very basic needs, this is true. He can't go wrong with any of these brands for the stuff he shoots.
I think you're operating under the false assumption that everyone's preferences and opinions are fleshed out and useful. That's simply not the case. Plus OP spent more time regurgitating all the hot button forum topics (Does Canon have DR? Will Nikon innovate? Sony ergonomics and QC!) than speaking to what he's looking for in a photographic tool. So to a degree I think a lot of people just didn't feel like wasting their time :-D
I have heard about their quality. I was flirting with the idea of having that lens but for just one stop more light and 4 mm at the wide end less, i cannot justify the purchase (plus in greece it costs 1000 euro more than the 24-70 2.8). Moreover i mostly use a prime 35 mm for night out photos. it is easier, i stop thinking which FL and focus on composition. Its lighter than the 28-70 and gathers more light. That is my thought process.
It would be an insult to say so. But for 8000 euro (along with 2 zooms and 2 sigma primes) i can buy a newer better performing camera
Because from what the OP mentioned, it doesn't bloody matter. It really doesn't, all the big three and most of the remaining others make great cameras all suited to what the OP mentioned.
