What a waste of time that comparison was

 

[PhotoMat]

Yep, pretty much shows that you can take a crappy photo with any camera.

Hah. That comparison is hilarious.

First he measured the light, set both cameras on manual BUT auto white balance.:bang:

All auto or all manual.
Total waste of time IMO.

All tiresome quibbles, these comparisons, I've concluded. And I've concluded this after
years of obsessing over them like everyone else. Now I don't even bother. They're silly.

It's APS-C or Full Frame - in general "sensor size"

Then it's "lens selection"

Then it's form factor.

The rest is determined by how much you want to spend for your kit.

IQ - relative quibbles in the digital age. JPEG rendering is altered to taste in post. All are good, on-par with each other. Same with RAW. Pixel peeping is madness. I think it's literally akin to OCD. And I DID say LITERALLY and I meant it.

I choose Nikon because:

1. Lens selection - tons to choose from all across the focal length and price spectrum both Nikkors and 3rd-party.
2. Excellent metering
3. Best flash system
4. Value proposition of entry-level DSLR bodies.
