Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2006Congratulations Canon for the 5D "Best Professional Camera" at TIPA
Well we see the 5D was the pick for the 2006 Technical Image Press Association as Best in the D-SLR PROFESSIONAL category. http://www.tipa.com/awa_detail_2006.lasso?-Search=Action&-Table=web&-Database=aw ards_2006&-KeyValue=76  Signature"I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony.

No, don't work for Canon but have a large investment in Canon gear and wanted to tweak off the Canon Hater here who will never know what's it's like to shot a full frame digital camera this good.

So you think there is only one "Canon Hater" here? ;-) Is it true this same organization gave an award to an Epson scanner that hasn't even been reviewed by anyone yet? That's like....psychic. > Is it true this same organization gave an award to an Epson scanner > that hasn't even > been reviewed by anyone yet? That's like....psychic. me thinks money changed hands.

I used to be a Nikon fan and switched to Canon. But, I don't think it serves anyone well to re-ignite the religious war between those two companies.

More choices are good, right? One must pick their tools. It does no good for us consumers to try and destroy one of our choices to justify our own choice. SignatureThomas T.

Also helps keep prices down and features & quality up. I wasn't wed at the hip to any DSLR brand as I had no lenses, but I found much, much less on non C & N brands. I did read some about Konica-Minolta, Pentax, Sony, and a few others, all of which seemed like fine cameras. Comments here and sales droids dissing their own stock convinced me to pass. I'll never really know, but to your point, choice is good.

Actually, that's the opposite of what the actual reason is for Canon and Nikon doing SLR's their "own way". Imagine what would happen if both Nikon and Canon agreed on a common lens mount. The consumer would truly have a choice, and benefit from competition, and they would have to compete directly with each other, without this artificial "oh damn, I already have all this glass, I can't possibly buy that" barrier. They'll never do it, it's far too profitable to maintain the artificial separation.

That isn't what I meant by "choice" nor what most people do. IMHO. I mean a multiplicity of brands, all with reasonably similar features, that a customer can choose from depending on their needs, wants, budget, opinion of ergonomics, real or perceived body and lens quality, everything that makes a camera what a buyer wants or does not want. Lens mounts, sensors when done by the company, firmware, et al are better called "brand differentiation", which in reality or maybe only in perception helps or hinders a buyer trying to sort the wheat from the chaff. > They'll never do it, it's far too profitable to maintain > the artificial separation. They never have, for a number of good reasons other than stealing sales, so I agree they never will.

This is the sole reason for me not getting the 5D. If my Nikkors would fit and offer full function on the 5D I would have one around my neck.

Just as with "Car of the Year", a TIPA award is often the kiss of death for a product. Besides, these awards are given for the best marketing opportunity rather than the best product. >>Well we see the 5D was the pick for the 2006 Technical Image Press >>Association as Best in the D-SLR PROFESSIONAL category. > > Just as with "Car of the Year", a TIPA award is often the kiss of > death for a product.
