I agree, it > is hard to make a choice. > > Jim Nichols With all the Nikon and Canon people moving up from 23.6x15.8mm format to 24x36mm you'd be shooting 18x13.5mm, The 1.5 crop circle dominates photography right now but 1x for the masses is right on our doorsteps. Like this year. You want to be out standing in the field in a 2x crop circle? You want your 50mm lens to become a 100? Canon has a consumer priced 1x camera out now and Nikon has a pro version; It's just a body away from a consumer priced 1x camera body leaping off the shelves. Canon and Nikon will be leapfrogging themselves in competition with ever cheaper full frame cameras. The whole corn field. If the 4/3 cameras were half the size of the Nikons and Canons it would be another thing. But they're for the most part bigger not smaller. What do they got that I don't got? Courage? Its not location location location. In photography, It's Acreage. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
