Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / December 2006N.Y. Times claims it's all over for Canon and Nikon!
The Times today had a full page add claiming, "If you want clear pictures you don't want a Canon or Nikon." They also claim that only 20% of Canon and Nikon lenses have IS/VR. They also claim that the Sony A100 is the only camera to give clear sharp images with all their lenses since it has IS/VR in the body. After seeing this add it put the fear of god into me thinking that it's time to start dumping all my Nikon and Canon crap and buy a Sony A100. I know the A100 isn't really going to give Canon or Nikon any competition, but it was funny seeing this full page add.

Buy the camera and forget using anything but the makers accessories. I wish people would fully research stuff before buying it.

I have both a Nikon and a Sony and I'd say the Sony pictures always look grainy when I zoom in... but I do prefer the Sony raw converter, even better than Adobe. Wish it worked on Nikon... And as for the blur - the anti-shake works quite well, you can get 3 stops if you aren't drinking, but the auto focus hunts like a bitch in room light! So you have to shoot at low ISO for low noise, so most of my close ups are blurred due to DOF due to low F numbers... If you need the anti-shake, you are probably shooting noise with a high ISO because you need a small F stop, so the shutter speed is low... so the whole thing is a pain... Actually, I want a 5D or something... I'm saving my money but will wait for next years model announcements. I want full frame!! >Actually, I want a 5D or something...

Canon will introduce the full frame EOS 3D with the 5D body shape, plus full weather sealing and 16.8 MP, and the EOS 1Ds MkIII with somewhere between 22 and 25 MP. Expect the 5D to continue, but at a lower price point. very good webside http://lihuarong.go3.icpcn.com >>Actually, I want a 5D or something...

No idea, but I doubt it will match Canon's low noise at higher ISOs. Tony Polson wrote: >>>>Actually, I want a 5D or something...

Depends if it's CMOS. The R1's CMOS sensor is actually much better than the A100's CCD sensor at ISO 400-1600, and goes up to 3200 without too much detail-masking noise. If Sony is developing a full frame CCD based on the 6 megapixel CCD - which would mean a 12 megapixel full frame - then the high ISO noise of that CCD is already a fair match for Canon although long exposures are not as successful. If they are developing one based on the R1's CMOS, and have been studying Canon's methods for pre-adjusting pixel by pixel thresholds and zeroing hot pixels, they could improve on the R1, make a 16 megapixel full framer, and maybe catch up with Canon on 1600 ISO noise at that density.

Maybe not but luckily that is not the only feature cameras are used for. Rita ?

Obviously the article is junk, but according to dpreview, Sony's Alpha does have resolution figures comparable to a Canon 5D because of a weak AA filter and less in-camera NR. Of course, noise is another issue... > The Times today had a full page add claiming, "If you want clear pictures > you don't want a Canon or Nikon."

As dragged through other groups, and pointed out there, this was an ad by Sony, nothing to do with Times other than they accepted $ to print their ad. Sheesh.

It was an ad by some competing company (Sony, I think) trying to convince folks that image stabilization should be built into the camera and not into the lens. Signature--- Paul J.

Ha Ha, you should have bought the Sony I guess, then you could have bought a new car as well. >The Times today had a full page add claiming, "If you want clear pictures >you don't want a Canon or Nikon."
