Canon EOS-1D Mark III, 10 mp, 10 fps

That’s bloody marvellous! 10fps @ 10mp! I’d love one, know doubt so would Andrew and Silver I’m a Nikon man, but that’d make me change. Shame they cost more than some bikes. Still eyeing up D2X’s on eBay.

Very nice might have to look at this at the end of the year after JTR

Jay, no use starting the old C V N debate. You know Canon are the best. This one looks great. I want one!!

we had a staff sale of cameras recently Jay. I would have told you but they told us on the Thursday and said everything would be going to a dealer next Tuesday, so not much time to decide. You just had to grab it while you could. This dealer was selling it all on eBay, so could be the same cameras. It was ‘B’ stock which means returned from the customer, used. Some itmes missing accessories, packaging etc. no warranty, but everything tested and working… so basically just like a second hand camera. D2H about £500, D2HS/D200 £600, D2X £1000. dunno how that compairs with ebay.

Damn you Nuts, I’d have had a D2X for a grand

Psst, Nikon are best, it’s just that they don’t have the fashionable white banding that Canon do, so sell less units.

Is that good? I dunno, don’t have that kind of money to speculate with… if you want to bung a grand over here and I’ll get you one next time

Jay, I’ve already got my name on the waiting list. Getting a call on Monday with the expected delivery date!

Because Canons are best but don’t tell Jay

You sonofabitch I knew it!!!

If I was a rich man…

Mebbe I’ll catch someone’s MarkII going cheap

Might let you have a look for a pint of lager (that’s the camera, by the way!)

Cough splutter joke, enough.
I can’t take that much laughter without booze.

Dream on Jay, Nikon are the Jaguar to Canon’s Aston Martin!

Nikon are the best and I would NEVER have a Canon again!

Canon’s customer service pure outnout STINKS! Had sent one to them for repair and it took OVER SIX MONTHS for them to tell me sorry we have LOST your camera!!! Offered me another instead but told them to erm PAY me out - went and got Minolta instead. Minolta (RIP with Sony) were actually the best units.

Anywho - if there is any D2 units avail/going drop me a line, would love to have one. Have been eyeballing em for about a year now and just about ready to take the plunge.

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you do with it that counts…

Oh, and it was shot on a Canon.

I sent my 30D back to Canon under warranty to have the focusing readjusted. Including shipping in both directions it took 5 days, so my personal experience with Canon Services is very good…

Nikon are Betamax…

That’s Canon 3, Nikon 2

In this little group of my peers whose opinions I respect, that makes Canon the winner…good thing I shoot Canon eh…

I’m with Andrew on this one, happy shooting WHATEVER you’re using!

Yay !!

Shall I lock the thread now ?

yes I’ve heard that the customer service at Canon can be dreadful and it has lost a lot of customers… make that 3/3

That’s it…

LB Shoot off!

Rules as follows.

  1. You have 1 week starting NOW, (13:35 - 25/2/2007)
  2. Each photographer must take 3 (three) NEW photos.
  3. No old or pre-existing photos allowed.
  4. Subject BIKES AND BIKING

The ONLY manipulation allowed is the Levels. Nothing else will be considered acceptable and we will trust that each entrant will be honest about this. No Contrast, no Saturation, nothing.

Each entrant must post the make of Camera and their three pictures in this thread by 13:34 next Sunday (March 4th)…

The reputation of the camera firm will then be based entirely and unquestionably upon the ability of the goons that buy them.

In the mean time a suitable judge will be found and agreed upon and their decision is final.

Let the best camera win…

The challenge has been laid down…who is Snapper enough to take it up?

Right…well that sank like a lead balloon eh…
Guess I’ll er get my coat!

Well, I’m gonna struggle since I’m a couple of thousand miles away from my camera at the moment…
