was Your Friend Bob now ...nikon vs canon - God spare us

[herschel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Canon seem intent on cramming as many pixels into as small an area as they
can. Then writing clever software to fix the noise.

As an ex-
Canon endorser in the Middle East, (Actually I still am) I must say that
my personal, possibly flawed, side by side tests with the 1Ds mk111 and
the Nikon D3 have convinced me to go out buy the Nikon (Without the
sizable discount that I would get from Canon) and buy expensive optics for
the Nikon too.

Even if I upsize the MP count to match the Canon
and compare side by side at 200 ISO, The colour, detail, highlight
retention and NOISE, are better on the Nikon. At 400 or 800 ISO it's no
competition

I still have a good collection of Canon and I must
say that the 1ds MkII, with 70-200/2.8 is hard to beat
but the new
14-24/2.8 Nikkor is just amazing... beter than my 14/2.8 and my 24/2.8
pretty damn good lenses in thier own right.

I'm sure there's
nothing between the brands in the prime lenses, and quite honestly I
prefer the feel of the Nikon primes (I still work mostly with prime
lenses.. 50mm/1.4 where possible-age showing)

Too many pixels
guys... means low signal to noise ratio and too much noise.

There's the lid off the can of worms... ooops
