UPDATE
The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being. I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure. ------------------------------------------------------------
Another Northrup - Canon vs. Nikon

No matter how good you are, there's always someone better. I never thought I'd find someone who makes Ken Rockwell look more technically competent and less biased, but Tony's da man.
I have to shoot some photos for Facebook today...according to Tony I can go ahead and use Canon FF ;D

I've stopped watching his stuff. He's been on my poopy list a while now.
I think he's going through a mid-life crisis or maybe he's gotten into recreational chemistry.

sad think is that he's trying to look serious and professional
I'd like to know where/how he got the (relative) numbers for sharpness of lenses?
equations like
22MPx of 5D mk II * 1.0909 + kit lens = 8MPx
where 1.0909 is some magic number so he can say D800E has 50% more resolutionlooks too funny to be taken serious, but if someone does nothing (like John Snow ;D) then he could get convinced it's the way it really works

One reason I think Kai is not the worst.
Tony needs a writer.
LOL! First time I saw Kai was when he ripped on the EOS M. Being an M fan I think I ripped on him in a forum or two...not that he would ever read it, know me, or care
Watching more of his videos...I actually like him. You're not going to get in depth info there, but I think he's fair overall and practical. He even went back and was more even handed with the M after the firmware update.

It comes from DXO's perceptual sharpness value, aka turn all the resolution data from a lens into a single number. The best part is that he spends 1/2 the video using those numbers as the basis for all of his comparisons and then in the second half he has a section where he looks at a specific lens, and comes to the conclusion that even though the perceptual sharpness number looked incredible for a certain lens, it turned out to be unusably soft. Oops.

I was about to point that out. More nonsense from DxO. Rather then use industry standard tests and terminology (lpmm at MTF50 and MTF10) take a well defined, simple term and twist it into something it's not, something that is intentionally confusing for new and veteran photographers alike.
Then someone like Tony jumps on the fictitious "score" to "prove" a point. Kind of like DxO's views on DR and overall sensor scores.
Man I'm growing to hate that site.

nice to know that ??? I wasn't even able to watch it till the end...raptor3x said:cid said:neuroanatomist said:

All bullshit aside, he's not wrong.
Nikon's bodies are better, although he doesn't mention the remarkable 1DX for some reason.
Canon's lenses are better IMO. I can't comment on the $10k+ big teles but I agree that on the whole, Canon's lenses have the edge.
