It repeats itself every time Nikon introduces a new model. ;-) To satisfy you and your illiterate buddies: yes, I will buy this one for a number of reasons. Chief among them is that just as it is with the fabled scorpion, you will buy because it is your nature. Poor Canon must be in tears: they never come up with something new or original. Just some increase in MP at the cost of IQ with every single new camera. With pronouncements such as these, are you surprised that some people regard you as an idiot? FYI, many of Canon's DSLRs (starting with, but not limited to the 40D and 50D) are much better for macro and some other types of photography than anything Nikon or other companies offer, because Canon came up with something new and original. Not long ago Nikon introduced three impressive PC-E Nikkors, but Canon just trumped them with their new offering, which also benefited from something new and original, at least where DSLR lenses are concerned. Nikon now has some DSLRs that provide amazingly good low noise, high ISO performance, but not until the D3 put them near par with Canon's DSLRs, which for several years had sensors that offered something new and better than what other manufacturers provided. While you may not be an idiot, you sure display an unfortunate combination of ignorance, lack of wisdom, and the propensity to have strong opinions of things you know little of. All people seem to be idiots to you, aren't they? You're just too kind with words. I normally wouldn't have commented on that poorly constructed sentence, but as you followed it with one talking about "words", it seemed to beg for someone to help you out by noting that you should have paid more attention in class when the rules for assembling words into proper sentences were taught. Know whut I mean, Vern? |

I'm not talking about the past. I live in the here and now. The last few camera that came out from Canon have seen an increase in MP, but a decrease in IQ, while Nikon has gone the other way: same "old" 12 MP, but every new one has an increase in IQ. Don't know about others, but I prefer the latter. All people seem to be idiots to you, aren't they? You're just too kind with words.

Only the last (better high ISO performance) refers to Canon's past superiority. Nikon is still behind Canon in the other areas mentioned. Did this escape your attention or is your problem one of comprehension? Also, you can ask your sister to also proofread that last sentence. All people seem to be idiots to you, aren't they? You're just too kind with words.

It's not about a spelling error. You also didn't pay attention to the words that I wrote, because you'll see that you were told that the problem had to do with the words that you used. Spelling errors or typos tend to be due to letter mistakes. The ability to speak eight languages would normally be something to be admired, but in your case we'd like to know if you switched to the other languages when you found something in the previous ones that displeased you. |

Wonder what real improvements, if any, there are? it's an upgrade for the d60, not the d90. Thanks for putting me right. As the price is pitched around the same price as a D90 (got my D90 body for £562, new) I assumed it was a replacement for this model. So having only just bought it, I'm relieved; hate buying stuff that gets replaced only weeks away. PDM |
