[Poll] Canon Reign Supreme Again?

[poias]

Fellow gearheads, now that both Canon and Nikon have shown all of their FF cards, it is time to rate. "True" photographers, please feel free to ignore this thread and head outside to photograph or something.

Question: after EOS 1DX's trashing of D4 and 5D Mark III's victory over D800, will 6D destroy D600 for a complete Canon FF sweep?

Hmm. I had to chuckle when I read this.

When the actual (not rumored) DxO scores for the 1DX came out, it turned out that the D4 has a better sensor after all.
Both the D800 and D600 have better sensors than the 5DIII as well.

So, not seeing how Canon is trashing Nikon. It's actually the opposite.

Also, the quarterly results for the last quarter show that Nikon's sales are up, while Canon's sales are down.
Again, how is Canon trashing Nikon when Nikon is gaining market share and Canon is losing???

I'm a Canon shooter, who has spent thousands of $$$ on Canon gear.
I find Canon's recent products very disappointing, since they are either underspec'd or overpriced ... or both.

So, at this time I'm actually very glad that Nikon is trashing Canon.
Maybe someone at Canon's headquarters will finally take notice.

A camera is more than the sensor. 'Nuff said.

Have to agree with X-Vision.

With regards to just the sensor, Nikon is smashing Canon in dynamic range even though they are also offering very high resolutions. Nikon have made far better gains with their sensors compared to Canon. Look at D3200 upgrade over D3100 compared to 650D over 600D. Also D800 over D700 compared to 5D MIII over 5D Mark II. Canon appears to have less effective R&D.

Having said that, I absolutely love my 5D Mark III. But I am under no illusion that Canon sensors are superior to Nikon's.

i think the 6d will have a lot of traction among those new to dslrs in general, and I doubt the differences regarding sensors will have a whole lot of effect. I dont think either will destroy each other & both will do well.

Meh...I'm sure my Expobar Brewtus coffee machine makes noticeably better shots than the ECM Giotto, though the ECM maybe looks nicer.

Which one reigns supreme? Like Canon vs Nikon, it's the user that makes the best shots.

Even in Finland is this is true but which one is the better one?

That's easy. The one with which my US$30,000 worth of Canon lenses are compatible.

but you can also put them on a Nikon, okey you lose AF but you have the choise to a better sensor world

How can one mount a lens designed for a 44mm flange focal distance on a body with a 46.5mm flange focal distance, and maintain infinity focus without compromising IQ? You can mount Nikon lenses on Canon bodies, but not the reverse.

I voted for the last line, not because it is a correct statement. I voted for it because it started with WTF.

This ought to be a very scientific poll.

Nikon net income dropped 36.5% in the last quarter. You have indeed had too much Vodka. The figures in parentheses are negative, a reduction!

Here I was thinking optical physics and financial notation convention were different in Finland. Vodka explains all...

Why must you people keep bringing up these inconvenient and well-documented facts? Oh well, I have faith that Nikon with ride it's DR advantage all the way to a profitable Q1 in 2013, because the massive hoards of landscape shooters disgruntled with Canon sensors are finally going to come out to the camera stores in droves.

You should bet on Zeiss to because that is where the disgruntled Canon landscapers will have to go to get a decent lens for there new Nikon.

ok so the OP asked which CAMERAS are better and some people decide to bring up dxo numbers....i think this illustrates the problem that alot of people have with this fanatical adherence to dxo scores, their scores are about sensors only (not talking about whether the scores are accurate or not). they do not score, ergonomics, AF or a plethora of other things that matter. just saying that the post is not about dxo scores or who has the best sensor...its about the best CAMERA, just saying. i dont see why i should need my flame suit, but its slung over my shoulder just in case.
