grmncrsnbr Posted October 21, 2011 Report Posted October 21, 2011 Well I figure since I have already started some changes I may as well get the stock shots up for prosperity's sake.

Still need to figure out how I want to get rid of the tail light chrome. Day309 by grmncrsnbr, on Flickr [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I love seeing a well loved MINI. What are you shooting with? We seem to mostly have Nikon shooters, but I am part of the smaller Canon contingency. I don't know why but photography types seem to love their MINIs.

cmcveay Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 Ali - he's a recent convert to the mirrorless cameras from Nikon. Although I do like that nice looking new Nikon mirrorless, I don't know if I want to spend a grand on what is, essentially, a point and shoot with detachable lenses. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
RyanMBlue Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I am in the Canon crowd as well, but I do get tempted by a nice Nikon occasionally... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

DId lots with the Nikon but have converted to a Sony NEX-5N mirrorless. Same size sensor with more megapixels and better low light capability than the D90 had. Plenty of adapters to fit any lens onto it. Working great so far. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
cmcveay Posted November 5, 2011 Report Posted November 5, 2011 I've got a D700 and a D40x if you'd like to go out and shoot with a Nikon to see how they work. Ali and I joke around about Nikon vs. Canon and it's all good fun but, to be honest, there's so little difference between what either camera is capable of, it's just a matter of personal choice. I actually used to shoot with Canon's but what turned me off was when Canon released new bodies that wouldn't work with their older lenses. With Nikon, I can grab almost any vintage (I said almost, there are some exceptions) Nikon SLR/DSLR lens and use it. Even the old school manual focus, manual Fstop lenses will work on the newest DSLR body. For me, that's a big selling point because I don't have to unload a bunch of perfectly good glass if I upgrade camera bodies. What's really cool is that I can take my 70-300mm zoom from the D700, put it on the D40x and, because of the cropped sensor, it becomes a 105-450mm zoom. Basically, any lens from the D700 is increased by 1.5x when it goes on the D40x. I don't have to buy two sets of lenses that way. 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold
