Cameras

Below this page there are pages dedicated to my cameras. I have had also Pentax cameras and pages about them are here.

Currently I'm using Canon cameras and even I could change to Nikon (the only real competitor) on financial point of view I would not change. On my point of view there are no remarkable difference on cameras (exept on pro-cameras on autofocus department; Canon 45 points vs Nikon 11 points).

Canon seems to be going to fullframe on professional SLRs and 1.6 crop on amateur SLRs. It seems that Nikon has chosen to use 1.5 crop factor on all of their cameras. Even Nikon has done this kind of decision there is only one pro-quality lens (17-55/2.8), which takes 1.5 crop into concideration. Also I'm quite worried Nikon R&D and production departmens output, only few lenses after year 2000. And it seems that most of the Nikon primes don't have SWM (Nikon calls it Silent Wave Motor, Canon terminology = USM) and there are quite few lenses with Vibration Reduction (Canon terminology = IS).

Let's see how the situation develops, this has been written in May 2005.
