JapaDog | 06-19-2009 03:30 PM | i can also argue that both canon and nikon provides a superior IS/VR system. the benefit of having the IS system on lens rather than body is that the IS doesn't age with the body model.
For example, canon recently introduced the 4-stop IS system on the newer lenses series such as the 70-200 f/4L IS. when using an older body like the 10d or 20d, it will probably provide better image stabilization than any pentax model that came out around the same time.
the external image stablization system generally provides better flexibility.
the part where canon and nikon comes on top are their lenses selection. Canon offers a wide variety of extremely strong and sharp telephoto lenses whereas nikon offers a wide variety of sharp wide angle lenses. |
