unit731 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 For this type of digital camera I don't think brand makes much difference. I'd shop price. Also the availabilty and cost of a 2nd battery. No one fixes these cameras so the warranty becomes very important - as stated above. I don't think megapixels means anything anymore for this type of camera - although others may scream at me.

Old Hippie Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 It depends on the camera. I purchased a Nikon D3s with an international warranty in Bangkok for about the same price as advertised in the US, but with the VAT refund, it was a couple of hundred dollars less. You have a D3? I hate you! How do you like it? That is my current dream camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MPs don't really matter as you stated...look more for resolution. My Canon Point and shoot is 10MP, my Nikon SLR is 6MP, but it has higher resolution and thus takes better pictures, and is of course more versatile.

The_Munchmaster Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 ..., my Nikon SLR is 6MP,.... My Canon SLR is 18MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 ...' date=' my Nikon SLR is 6MP,.... [/quote']My Canon SLR is 18MP. Most likely much newer than mine as well. What is resolution on your? My guess is it is probably pretty good. I have the D70...what model is yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 The resolution is 5184 x 3456 = 18 MP, I assume that's what you were referring to? Model is Canon 7D. Was only released last year and I got mine a couple of months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomc12 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 OH, The Nikon D3s was made for a nightowl like me. Shooting in RAW with either the 85mm 1.4 or 24-70mm 2.8 lens, I could wander around Bangkok at night getting excellent pictures with good dynamic range, color, and very little noise without flash or tripod even at ISO 25600 and higher. The only drawback: shooting with the 24-70mm means a pretty heavy and bulky camera to carry around. Also for some reason the RAW format was changed in the D3s-I could work with the format in Nikon Capture but had to convert the files to .dng to work in Adobe ACR. Since then, Adobe has come up with an upgrade and ACR6 handles them fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
