Scrappers - D4 vs 3200 - Does gear actually matter???

[imagemaker46]

As I don't use Nikon I can only use my gear as how I see it. I have been using a 5D mklll, for those of you that followed my Paralympic experience the slower FPS of the mklll compared to those that were using the 1Dx, 6fps compared to 14fps, for me it didn't make a difference. I used my t2i at 3fps, but shot on single frame and while it couldn't match even the mklll, the images in a lot of cases were very close. I shot a professional football game on Saturday with my 1Dx and the difference between the mklll, huge. However in my case I'm not a big burst shooter, but it is really a lot faster. The guts of both camera's are basically the same, focus and low light quality.

I would think the D4 would be the better camera to use for sports. But then I've always said it's the person holding the camera that makes the difference.

I think the corvette analogy is very apt. Most cars these day will do 100mph with out breaking a sweat, most will corner well and are very safe. Then when you look at specialized racing events you see how much having the right equipment matters for what you are doing. Sure your car can do 100mph, but it can do that around a corner.

I want to see the iPhone 4s versus the Nikon D4s. You know, the best 4 versus the other 4.

Or the Samsung Galaxy S5 versus the Canon 5D Mark III. You know, the best 5 versus the other 5.

You know what event would be perfect to photograph for those tests? The New York Yankees, playing a pee-wee team. Lol
