Hi Keith,
I was more responding to the thread than to your posting. Excuse me if my tone was harsh, not my intention at all!
It is more like that I feel that most cameras we have around make perfectly good pictures. I guess that most of the best pictures are taken with Canons while they are used most.
Some cameras are better in some sense than some others, but it is seldom it really matters. As a matter of fact I feel that I made my best pictures with an 12 MP APS-C camera. Not because it was the best camera I had, but because photo opportunities came my way when I had it.
So I feel that we should enjoy the stuff we have and learn to make the best use of them.
Just some examples:
- The Sony Alpha 99 I have has pretty good dynamic range, but of the 75000 pictures I have on my computer DR has been an issue on perhaps a dozen.
- I saw little difference in A2 size prints between the 12 MP Sony Alpha and the 24 MP cameras. I normally print A2, seldom larger. 24 MP is nice, but if I don't see the difference, does it matter?
- I see little difference in A2 size prints between the 24 MP Sony Alpha and the 39 MP P45+
I never had a Canon, but the good images from Canon cameras I saw were as good as anything else. On the other hand, crappy pictures are crappy pictures independent of equipment
Best regards
Erik
Erik, I was reporting what they use, not why.
