Another pro switches to Nikon

[ShaolinTiger]

There's even more reason now with the D700 as a great backup the D3.

Scott Bourne has switched - http://scottbourne.com/

[neoro]

Let me quote from his site

"Some have asked me if I will be sad when Canon comes out with an answer to all this new Nikon gear. The answer is no. I’ll be happy. Competition is good for everyone. And I can always switch back if the scales tilt Canon’s direction :)"

Once you have a definite thought and idea to the lenses you want, its never hard to switch, when the cost of switching is getting less expensive these days :p

[ShaolinTiger]

Yup, more important is to understand what tools you need to achieve the results you want.

Brand is inconsequential, results speak for themselves.

[Guy594]

I understand people switch to Nikon, but i stick with my Canon gear for sure because i'm happy with it and with the results it gives me :D

Last week i could try a camera from my friend, it was the Canon D1 Mark III , for sure that camera is my dream now :adore:

[noruazumi]

it doesn't matter what brand u use.
as long it can deliver the photos that you want, then it is fine.

[Guy594]

Yep i agree with that.

Yep i agree with that.

Me also agree with that, well say.

By the way, who is Scott Bourne?
not much idea who is him, LoL..:google:

[noruazumi]

...but sometimes you can't deny that some cameras are technically better than other cameras from other models.

[myjunk_]

ada duit boleh switch lah.. it's not like beli kacang putih. If kacang puthi not nice, can go for kacang hitam and just throw away leftover.

haha.... then maybe i should switch to understand more about other system....

[ShaolinTiger]

Maybe you should talk less and take more pics? :rock:

haha the equipment only does so much as HELP you to take better pics..it doesn't take better pics by itself...

though i must agree with zumi that some cameras are built better than others (in terms of built quality/user friendliness/easy access of settings etc)

[albert8112]

imo what is important is the man behind the camera and camera persay.
nevertheless, buy what you need and not what you want.

so keep shooting and be merry.

[qqmeng]

hahaha.... but i think is striking the balance...

changing camera is vital too...

and of course skill also important..

as for skill.... how good is good? ... judgemtn call

[astroboy]

I think that's a good question...who is this guy?

By his own admission on his website: "I am a new media producer, photographer, author, lecturer, teacher and technology enthusiast."
(for me that spells "geek").

And I can't find any decent portfolio on his 2 sites. Pro?

:?

By the way, who is Scott Bourne?

[Eyes-usual]

Some people likes to get expensive gear to reflect their status, but it doesn't necessary that would guarantee you could take a good picture.

To me, it's just another tool, sometimes I being "forced" to purchase certain pricey items, because of that needs to get job done in lesser glicth issues, so no choice in certain situation.:(

[Mavik]

Estimated price Scott Bourne paid for his new gear is slightly above USD$30k or Euros$19.6k.
