Nikon or Canon and then which camera?

[quote name='Vieux loup' timestamp='1282646184' post='2099']

There is no doubt that I would buy the D3x if I could justify spending that much money.[/quote]



Just to clarifiy: I surely wouldn't own a D3x if it wasn't for the reviews. For normal (amateur, not professional) use, the camera is no doubt overkill. And of course overprized.



[quote name='Vieux loup' timestamp='1282646184' post='2099'] I will probably go with the 7D or the D300S. Is there any particular reason in your opinion why I should take one or the other?[/quote]



No. At least not one that hasn't been mentioned already <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />

I can't help feeling that Canon is more marketing driven and Nikon more engineering driven.[/quote]



Well, you could argue about that endlessly, I guess <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' /> It was my experience, coming from the 1D Mark II to the D300, that Nikon was probably a bit more oriented to usability or maybe ergonimcs designed BY actual photographers, not just FOR photographers. At first sight, a Nikon seems a bit more complicated, but many things actually make sense once you've learned them and used them in the field.



But note that this is my opinion and impression, which is just valid for me personally. Especially ergonomics is a highly subjective topic, you already read that wim prefers the Canon way. In addition, my experience is from a few years ago. Lots of things have changed or been improved since then, in both systems. For example: I liked the idea of independent AF modes for each camera orientation in the 7D (see seperate thread started by Yakim). Very goos idea, certainly could use that feature occasionally, too <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Big Grin' />



Whatever system you choose: don't look back. Try to learn your gear and explore its limits.



You know the Chinese saying "the glass is always cleaner on the other side"? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' /> There will always be something the competition offers, but your gear does not. The key to being happy with your gear is not to worry about it too much.



[quote name='Vieux loup' timestamp='1282646184' post='2099'] I am going away for 2 weeks on the 8th of August and I want the new camera for that trip. Kind regards vieux loup

One last advice: make sure you have enough time to get used to your new gear, and also, if digital is new to you, the digital workflow.
