TBF he owns a nikon did you really expect him not to be like that lol

Oh cruel

But please, let's not have this debate again. We did all this last week and it was pretty confusing then.

Yes, please keep it more at a 'discussion level'.

But remember people, the basic premise is use whatever you like, there is no right or wrong...only full frame! lol

I have been hearing for some years that we will all be using full frame in 'X' years time - usually a figure between 3 & 5. Well crop cameras are still in use and still getting a lot of investment from the manufacturers and non of the prophecies have come true...

Each format has it's own benefits and I for one hope the be able to make that choice for myself for many years to come.

Unfortunately the choice is made simple for the majority of people........................cost! :shrug:

So why aren't you using a Hasselblad then? Or at least a 1Ds III?

"Cheaper" is a hu-u-u-uge advantage in the real world.

It is an advantage, I don't deny that and I have acknowledged that. But for me, that is the only advantage, i don't find the "extra reach" to be an advantage, not for what i use it for, this will be different for others who likes their zooms i am sure.

For me, FF is much better, bigger sensor allows for better ISO performance, it allows for thinner DoF, and i say again, cost aside.

I still find the crop focal length all up in the air depending if the camera is 1.3x or 1.6x. I just want 1x.
