d*SLR

the digital SLR.

there are only two in my book: Canon & Nikon.

Everything else is— everything else. These are the two major manufacturers of Digital SLR cameras that are worth any kind of discussion. First, I've been a Nikon user for almost 20 years now. My first hand experience is with Nikon, whether it's film or digital, Nikon is what's in my bag.

Having said that— Canon makes great gear too. I have friends that shoot Canon and swear by their gear. Enough said. This blog isn't about yester-year, it's about digital photography and its future... and oh yeah, my take on the whole pie.

Canon or NIkon?

Having followed the industry for the last few years and being actively involved in it, I've got one word that that sums up where digital photography is going: Canon.

Nikon was early to dip its fingers into the pixel pie and turn the world on its ear with the D1. But as of late, they have since resigned themselves (for sure unwittingly) to taking a backseat in the digital drive.

Canon is driving.
And you better have your seatbelt on.

Don't believe me? Wait till next month's Photokina and see who's holding the big guns and who's holding the pee-shooters.
