I guess he prefers the Nikon neck strap to the Canon Model...

Really great comparison. I feel really good about my camera choice between the two models, I don't need speed, don;t shoot sports, but I do shoot in low light and wanted low noise which he did prove the 5d did really well with. I am very happy with my camera and I learned a few things, which is always good.

Sigh... I like this guy, but I'm not sure that he's actually telling us anything.

:lol: That's all Nikon is good for. Let them take care of the accessories while Canon handles the important business.

My 5d mark II was fun. Just hated the AF on it.

I agree Scotty, I am tending to use manual focus more with my 5D.

I get the impression a lot of his remarks are tongue-in-cheek quips. So I just go along for the ride.

I like digital rev videos. They're made for people who already know a bit about cameras and want something fun rather than dry and boring.

Plus they're made in HK which is a bonus (no I've never seen Kai).

He's grown on me. :) I'd still be curious as to what he finds special about a 50mm lens on 35mm format, as opposed to any other normal focal length lens on it's appropriate format. There are plenty of reasons one might like a bigger format, but I can't think of anything special it does for field of view.

Yup, I think he was just expressing a personal view of the crop factor game. Would rather not play.

That guy is funny but he can be informative at times. A very good side by side comparison .:judge:
