Finally – it’s the Canon 30D
It was a long back and forth …but the end the Canon 30D
turns out to be my camera of choice. The Nikon D200 was very
tempting but in the end it all comes down to how you prioritize
the different aspects of the cameras. I absolutely do not want
to take part in this stupid Canon vs Nikon “war”.
Both are excellent cameras but somehow the 30D seemed like the
way to go – for me. I love shooting in low light
conditions and
Ken Rockwell’s comparison
really helped me to decide – because I absolutely disagree
with his conclusion. I do prefer the Canon pictures at high
ISOs. In general the colors of the 30D seem to be a bit more
vivid and the available lenses for the Canon are a better fit.
Canon also seems to be a bit more committed to go further full
frame in the future which would be fantastic. Just in time
before I left to Austin my 50mm/1.4 lense arrived and I have to
say it feels good to have a proper SLR again. So I am happy
shooting away here at the
ApacheCon.
