Hobnobs Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) Loving the contrast of the bright rider and blurred background in number two. Fourth one from bottom wouldve been really nice if the pedals were nice n shiny, or taking it from the axle bolts perhaps? Have you ever used a Canon 350d? Im choosing between d70s and the 350d, and im being swayed by the canon because i've got some lenses i can use with it. Make me buy a nikon! What camera do you use tom? Some of them look better quality than the ones rob took. Edited November 21, 2005 by Hobnobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I never went to any of those places when I rode Exeter... Rich I blame you :) Nice pics, need to go there again. Thats because we went there about five years ago! I know I couldn't do any of that kind of stuff that long ago. You defianetly got to come down for a ride sometime fred, Exeter is well worth it. Nice pics whiteboy, liking the ones of Steve mid drop gap. :P Really want to ride Exeter now... Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them look better quality than the ones rob took. I personally cant stand the 350D, it just in no way appeals to me. A mates got one and it's just like yeh great....it just dosent have that WOW factor. It may for some but definatly not for me. It may also be 8mp as asopsed to 6.1mp but who needs big mps unless your going to be printing over A4 all the time, certinatly not me. In an A4 print you woudlnt be able to tell the difference between 6 and 8 anyway. The kit lens on the Nikon is much better than canons. I had to wait a LONG time for my camera to come through, theres a serious lack of them atm but I think production is starting to pick up again. But when I did get it, it's just like oh my god this is a beast, its solid and feels more like a proper camera ( O wait it is.......) :D Just get the Nikon, seriously! Baring in mind mine have been compressed from 3mb a photo to like 120k or whatever so they hardly look great on here. you keeping hold of your fugi 5000/5500 (i forget) Rob?? or you going to be passing it on to someone else for a good price? :):) Yes I am, if I had a pound for every time someone had offered to buy it I probably could of bought a new lens ;) (S5500) Cheers peeps Rob :P :P Keep em comin Edited November 21, 2005 by Rob P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-Stop Junkie Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Just get the Nikon, seriously! Damn Nikon users... Right, let me offer a little balance here. Being a Canon user myself (along with, I might add, all the top MTB photographers in the UK, as well as the majority of press and sport photographers world wide) then I have found the Canon dSLRs to have outstanding build quality, and really great ergonomics. Not to mention excellent support from third-party equipment manufacturers and software providers (Not something you'll find with the encrypted white balance data in Nikon RAW files!) The kit lens may not be the greatest lens available - Some people nickname it the dog toy - there are plenty of others available, including very well priced lenses from Sigma and Tamron which you can use. Plus if you already have some Canon EF lenses, then why junk them, and have to buy them all over again? Save money, save time, buy Canon, start shooting. Plus the Canon 'L' lenses give gorgeous pictures... As far as megapixels go, yes you won't notice a huge difference between 6 and 8 mp (and I've done huge prints off 6.1mp, as anyone at Hookwoods will attest to) but it does mean you have more image data per picture, and if you crop your image a little, then you can quickly turn a 6 mp image into a 4 mp one. Start with 8, crop, and end up on 6. At the end of the day, you'll find Nikon users and Canon users. It's very rare to find someone who has used both. You'll get good pictures with either, but if you have Canon glass, and you're used to how Canon's work, then go Canon. If you didn't, then I'd suggest going to Jessops and trying them both. They're both good cameras, it's more a case of finding one that you find easy, logical and comfortable to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 :P Thanks for that, Now back to the photos? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Sorry Rob, don't mean to piss on your strawberries. The whole Canon Vs Nikon debate is almost a religious war. Enjoy your new toy, and keep up the great shots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
