>>2851020>But I'm considering changing to Nikon because I can get my hands on old pre-digital lenses for next to nothing. If you want cheap but decent quality, check out old USSR and DDR stuff. Old Nikon lenses are actually more expensive then old Canon FD, Konica-Minolta, Pentax... and only they still make those same manual focus lenses. I really like the craftsmanship of Nikon AI/AI-S lenses, i bought a few of those new. TOO BAD THEY DON'T MAKE BODIES DESIGNED FOR THOSE LENSES!
You can already use old Nikon lenses on your Canon 600D, and unlike low/mid end Nikon DSLRS it will meter with them. Nikon is disgraceful. If you want to use old manual focus lenses, but you don't have much money, get a used Canon 5Dc and a split image focusing screen from China.
>Plus I'm begininng to like their approach more than Canons. The Nikon Df is exactly what I want of a digital camera. It's my only dream digital system camera on the market, even including professional models.They don't have any approach these days, besides being afraid of change and innovation. Df was made because people bugged them for almost a DECADE to make a digital Nikon F. They half-assed it, Df definitely wasn't what all those people(me included) wanted. Nikon is stupid as fuck, and allowed Fuji to take quite a few of its customers.
>>2850811>I dunno what lured me in, but now I'm around $15,000 committed.You have Canon full frame stuff, that's not a topic of this thread.
>>2851503>Best resale value / marketThis is not so true. Canon is making updated models of their APS-C lenses relatively often, and naturally their older stuff loses value when that happens.
>Why should I have chose something else?Because you could use extra 4EV of dynamic range maybe?
>Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Pentax crop bodies are just as capable as any Canon FFIf that was true why would anybody pay so much for Canon 1D?
