Nikon losing ground to Canon?
in [Digital Cameras]

From: RichA on 24 Apr 2010 03:37 Nikon did an impressive thing, came back from way behind Canon a few years back to take arguably the number 1 spot in-terms of performance. But, because they've refused to augment new models at lower prices with the same attributes of newer Canons, they are losing the ground they'd gained. They still produce the lowest noise professional camera, but they lack a lower price high megapixel camera, and a lower priced high megapixel FF camera. In addition, the mid-level is aging and needs replacement.

So either buy quickly, or go without. -- Peter

Sony has a couple "high megapixel" dSLR that don't perform that well against Nikon or Canon. In the pro market Nikon D3x vs. Canon 1Ds mk.III are about equal. Need any more than that, then you really should look into medium-format. For an average hobbyist, why do you need more than 12 mp? |
