Dear Friends-
I am completely stuck, I am trying to decide which Digital Camera to get based on my eyes alone. Heres the problem that never gets addressed in reviews, Im older, my eyes are older, I have the misfortune of wearing No Line Bifocal Lenses making it tougher for me to see.
Im looking at a 10 D with the Canon 24 to 70mm 2.8 L Lens and similar to the Nikon D100 with the same type(L) lens.
Does anyone have an opinion on the viewfinders and the situation I described above? Can you recommend any direction for me.?
So far the 10D viewfinder appears brighter to me than the Nikon, however I just had a war with my Optician as they messed up my glasses and tonight finally delivered the correct lenses for my eyes-
What do I have now? I currently own a Nikon N90s with a 35 to 70,, 2.8 AF D Lens, I believe I have sold it locally
I am going to Israel Next month with my 2 children, a trip of a lifetime, and I want to be happy with the Photographic Outcome of that trip.
When you go to the Photos taken by Phil Askey on his web site the Canon Lens used ( L Series) is spectacular, in contra to the Nikon Lenses Nice photos but not so spectacular.
Have always been a "Nikon Buff" and Im trying to figure out what to do. Im also a relatively smart person and try to maximise my purchases... The Nikon D-100 is almost 2 years old, thats not a bad thing, however the D10 is about 8 months old and now Sony has come out with a 8megapixal camera. If we draw a conclusion on directions as in past, Nikon is going to be "Hard Pressed for something New" Canon is beating them up with the D10, Sony is now out the box with a 8Megapixel whatchamacallit-
I understand that no one has really put their hands on the new Sony yet, however Sony usually doesnt market "Losers"
so question A is who wins between the D10 and D100, and then do I get a Sony instead and wait for Nikon to release the new toy which Im going to assume is going to light the fuses on the fannies of both Nikon and Cannon?
I recently visited a retailer who took some "In Store Shots" and processed them for me through their Fuji system, this was the first Ive ever seen with regards to the Digital Output available- they were 4x6 prints, The Nikon had a much reder toner but was sharper, the Canon was warmer and softer? does that make sense? Then there is the so called Focus Problem of the Canon 10D, Real or Not, I dont have $2500.00 to throw out-
I would appreciate apprecaite any help from the forum members and would appreciate any comments from folks who may have direct contact with the Cannon 10D and Nikon D100 as well-
