Title: Any Canon gurus out there?
Post by: ChicosBailBonds on November 24, 2013, 12:43:41 AM
I'm looking to upgrade and considering the 70D and was wondering if anyone is shooting with that body, what your thoughts are, etc.

Forget the 70D. Go with the Nikon D800. No debate. A far more extensible platform. You won't regret it.

No dice, I have all my lenses for Canon, not going to start over on that front.

But, Nikon's superior for boudoir photography.

The NFL photographers got me into Canon, haven't regretted it one bit.

LOL, I should ask...my department sells Playboy video service (Hustler, Vivid, etc)...I'm sure they have a recommendation.  Or at least they could airbrush my photos.   :D

LOL, I thought the same thing reading the title and then chico's post.  Was wondering how many cannon guru's there can really be, especially on Scoop.  Figured it out on the next post, but still got a smile out of me.

I am a Nikon Guy, still love my d200. I get where you are coming from, it's the lenses that cost the big bucks. The 70D seems like a nice camera.

Thanks.

I just saw the 2013 camera awards and the category I'm looking at (high end DSLR)  the 70D was voted first with the Nikon D7100 runner-up.  Both sound like excellent cameras, but I can't justify getting rid of the lenses so I'll stick to the Canon.

A lot of other Nikons made best camera for other categories...for example the D600 won the best "prosumer" category, beating out the Canon 6D.  The prosumer category is a little rich for my blood, so I'm in the next category down.
