    Amateur Photographers

    Any on here? I'm a Nikon user, most people I know seem to be Canon fans.

    Nikon Scum.

    Pentax master race reporting in.

    (Jokes, all brands do pretty much the same thing, most brands have been very boring the last few years, no real innovation, prices being pushed up above inflation, and being a fanboy is very silly, as no brands really have anything to rave about).

    But in the last few years, wouldn't you agree it's been Sigma who've been really pushing the quality per £?

    I'd hardly call the Art lenses cheap.

    Does that make Canon users Rebel Scum? (Guess that really works in the US though!)

    I agree with you on the innovation part. What I would like is Nikon (for example!) to make their mirrorless cameras with an adapter ring that takes the DSLR lenses. Then all those who have a DSLR can have a nice second body without buying more lenses. Yes, its a money making thing, but it seems people aren't jumping.

    I still have a D90. I'd probably go Full Frame, or even the D7200 if I had the money. Haven't used it for a while. Need to get out more. Been sorting my garden since moving in last summer. Hopefully get some nice plants after all the pruning. Bird table ordered so hopefully get some nice nature shots!

    What camera model do you have peje1873? Found anything you like shooting?
