Gup Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 <p>According to Thom Hogan that is because Reuters supplies Canons to their PJs. Hope nobody hurt themselves over this. A chest can only take so much pounding.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User_6667263 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>By my count:<br> Canon 88<br> Nikon 6<br> Sony 1<br> The most used lens was the 16-35 followed by the 70-200.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakhtar Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Do we know the percentage of 7D and 5Dll used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>Husain, I'm seriously considering making a formal complaint to the mods about you and your explicit and implicit 7D bashing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann_overland Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>Why is Canon being preferred?</p> <p>It is worse if you bash a person, Keith. I don't think the 7D would mind (It's a joke!) :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann_overland Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>Are they being sponsored, or is it by choice? If it is by choice, why would the Canon cameras be their choice?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakhtar Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>Keith, it is quite legitimate to know which Canon cameras are mostly used! What is wrong with it?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverhaas Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>Nikon did or said something that made Reuters mad in 1993 - which is when they replaced all their Nikons with Canons. </p> <p>My guess is that it is purely a marketing deal - where Reuters shooters can get there hands on demo, free, replacement, unreleased product, etc... in return for prominent placement of Canon logos, shirts, etc...</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann_overland Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 <p>There you go, David. I am seriously considering a divorce from Nikon now, even if I have been a faithful Nikon user for many years. I keep finding myself in the Canon forum. What's up with that?! :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 <p>Husain, your agenda is patently obvious - you're looking for "proof" to back up your obsession that the 7D is an inherently broken camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakhtar Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 <p>I can say the same about your agenda, Keith!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith reeder Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 <p>Yeah, my agenda is simple enough to understand, but for the avoidance of any doubt, I'll state it explicitly:</p> <p><strong>The Canon 7D is a <em>great</em> camera - still not bettered as a brilliant all-rounder by any subsequent APS-C camera, three years in. "Problems" with it are almost <em>never</em> the fault of the camera, and I'm happy to demonstrate that it can provide images a damn' sight better than would humanly be possible if the bashers and flamebaiters were right about it being fundamentally flawed...</strong></p> <p>And this thing is, I've proven this to be the case, again and again and again - I'll continue to set the record straight every time the need arises.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakhtar Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 <p>Yes, Keith you have shown some good pictures (which could have easily been taken by 500D with a good lens) but how you have achieved them is another story! For example, somewhere else I have pointed out that one of pictures you said was taken at ISO 8500 was in fact at ISO 6400!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
