Michael and 5dII
« on: March 06, 2009, 12:50:54 am »

I wonder why Michael never give 5dII a proper field review, altought he compare it with other cameras and mentioned its name here and there but never dedicated article. why? because he does not like it that much or he falls in love with Sony900 so much that it overulled 5dII? IMHO, 5dII  worh it  having more atention and some writing about in details specially with such an affordable price and such a picture quality.Come on Michael!

I think you will find its a case of there being only so many hours in the day - Michael clearly already has substantial commitments, LLVJ, Countless tutorials [in the last year], trips, holidays, workshops, print workshops, gallery, maintaing a website, administrating a website, moderating a forum, visiting PMA, ad infinitum

I think its pretty good how often he turns around articles already - and dont forget, he just got back from Antarctica where he used and is reviewing a D3X, Sony A900, and Phase P65+ systems. Something has to give!

And wasnt Chris using and reviewing the 5D MKII? To wit, he posted an article a week or so ago in relation to same from memory.

I think people forget Michael is not getting paid for a lot of this stuff.

Hi,

Michael had an Canon 5DII with him to the Antartica but it broke down. Both the Canon 5DII and the Nikon D3X were late arrivals. Also Michael is not really a reviewer but a photographer sharing his experience.

Best regards
Erik

thanks for your replies and I agree with both of you but it is Michael way of approach to photography that I like very much  and  itch me  to know his idea about 5dII absolute picture quality.even a brief one is sufficient since we all read so many reviews in other sites, specially DPreview, about its pros and cons.

As I understand it, Michael looked into the surgical addition for further arms on which to carry a third (fourth?) camera system, but opted to bring a Canon shooter along with him instead. Unfortunately, it was a Canon shooter with a demanding day job. So be patient.....all will be revealed.

Nick Devlin shot with a 5DII on the Antarctic trip and we planned all along that he would write the field review. I just received a draft today and I expect to publish it here in a week or so.

This has been a Canon (35mm camera), Phase One (MF camera), Epson (printer), Mac (computer), and Adobe (software) website.  (Nikon is dog meat.  For some reason Canon printers are dog meat.  PC computers lower than . . . )  It will be interesting to see if Michael shifts to promoting Sony cameras instead of Canon.

Michael, what disturbs me is that most of the people using this site don't seem to be able to make up their own mind.  They can't decide what is good for themself.  They slavishly await your word, then repeat it on other sites every chance they get.  It must be a man-crush thing.  And you don't have to say "the Nikon D3x doesn't represent good value" anymore.  We're definitely tired of hearing that one.

OK, I won't say that "the Nikon D3x doesn't represent good value" anymore. Really, I won't. Really.

Michael

Ps: It doesn't.

Good value represents different meaning for different folks.

For me the D3x is very good value, compared to my MFDB kit that I sold.

A Phase P65+ doesn't for me !

Why?

None of my files need to be any larger than 70 MB.

Otherwise Photozoom can easily upsize to 100 MB

Anyway,this subject can be discussed to the cows come home.

Oh Bernard, please do stop, you're confusing Michael and preventing him from making up his own mind

May I know where you did the survey to conclude this? it's just to vote for the reduced group of people who are able to make up their own mind.

Yes, of course. How could it be otherwise?

Or no, naturally.

Seems pretty clear that "the Nikon D3x doesn't represent good value"  is what he meant (albeit subtly, without hurting too many feelings).    Shooting with the A900, has probably re-inforced that conclusion.
