Canon beats Nikon because it seems like Apple, word expert - Tom's Hardware Guide

The relationship between Canon and Nikon , even among canonists and nikonisti, is a long-standing antagonism. From what the two brands have established themselves as the benchmark for photography, there are, in fact, true factions of professionals and amateurs who defend one or the other, sometimes even with some vehemence – to say the real their verbal violence.

then makes the news if a photographer is among the most famous in the world, Scott Kelby , decides to switch from one to another, leaving in favor of Canon Nikon . At 53 Kelbyè considered by many as a true institution: president of the Association of Photoshop Professionals and professor at the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour, editor for many magazines devoted to Adobe, CEO of Kelby Media Group, and more – without Kelbyè doubt an authoritative voice when it comes to photography.

his radical choice goes back a few months ago, but it is in a video 20 January, Kelby who gave their explanations . It all happened when she tried a Canon EOS 1Dx, followed by a test with the Canon 5D Mark III. Kelbyspiega in the video that the Canon machines have convinced him for many reasons: the body ergonomics, organization of the menus, the effectiveness of auto-focus, customization, and of course the quality of the photograph.

Inevitably the choice of Kelby sparked a fiery debate . Only considering his blog and YouTube video you get to about 350 comments, and then there are all the blogs and sites that specialize in photography that gave visibility to this matter.

Many have succumbed to the temptation, and judged Kelby with the superficiality of the stereotype most obvious: Kelby would do all this just because paid by Canon . Obviously it can not be excluded, but it is unlikely that such a character risks losing all its credibility, built over years of hard work, just for a bit ‘of money. If it is true that everyone has a price, we suspect that one of Kelby would be too high for Canon – too much to ask, among other things is more elegant than an open rejection and leads to the same result.

Assume good faith, however, is always a must, of course, but it is also difficult – if not impossible – to allay suspicion and to silence the gossips. It would’ve been so complicated, but Kelby things worse and adds that the Canon is better because “ seem designed by Apple “, referring to the clean, functional design.

short, already one between Canon and Nikon is a war where you do not make prisoners when it comes to online discussions, but Apple is just adding fuel to the fire is not it? Who knows, maybe he was bored and Kelby has thought that a little ‘trolling online would have enlivened the day?

So, Kelby has convinced you to take a Canon or made you angry?
