Canon or Nikon?

[rpm]

well assuming people dont use Sony as a pro alternative, rule of thumb is, white = canon. ss for the blacks, you make a good point but at that level where most items are sponsored or company owned, it would surprise me if they aren't Nikon but you make a valid point nonetheless.

Um, "all" those photographers in that picture are not using Nikon. I didn't count, but looks close to half are L and the rest are black. Of the black ones, how many can you identify as Nikon, because Canon and other mfgs make black lenses, too. :lmao:

Anyone?

I can't tell. rpm can't tell.

In the late 90s the Columbus Dispatch dumped their Nikon gear and bought $100K worth of Canon stuff.

Disclaimer: I own manual focus Leicaflex cameras and lenses and have no bias between Nikon and Canon.

These kinds of posts, when the right buttons are pushed, are some of the best in their class. :lmao:

Note that during the olympics the d3 had only been release for about 6month. You guys can bring up history all you want. I already said that pre D3 era, Canon was dominating. But we are talking about now here. Which quite frankly, you know nothing about. Do some research of what's going on today and stop holding on to the past.

To sum this thread up:

Poster 1: Canon is better!
Poster 2: No, Nikon all the way!
Poster 1: That's not what your mom said last night!
Poster 3: What did you say about my mom? No, YOU!
Poster 4: Do any of you have proof to support your conclusions?
Poster 1 and 2: Get outta here, nobody likes Pentax anyway!
Poster 3: Your mom is ugly.

This thread still goes on.

Nikon also make white lenses. Only on the big stuff and you have to ask for it.

I think you'll find that they are actually a light grey rather than white.

i personally have never seen this or even heard of this..

and wast the light grey more due to the film cameras having a grey body and the lens were made to match? otherwise any recent Nikon lenses have been black and only back from what ive seen.

i retract my comment. but imo i feel that it looks really odd to see a nikon lens in anything but black. i understand in many aspects for canon its a good marketing scheme to have them in white but it just feels alien to see a nikon in anything other than black. maybe a very dark grey would be ok but anything bordering on white feels iffy...

And since Nikon was so perfect, why did thousands of press photographers switch?

The Columbus Dispatch dumped all their Nikon gear and went to Canon some time in the 90s. I was there when they were doing the transaction. I am sure they were not alone.

I happen to work for the Columbus Dispatch. If they endorse Canon, that's just all the more reason to use Nikon. This company can't get anything right.
