I read this blog on Nikon Rumors today and found it very enlightening. It's essentially one working Nikon photographer's experience in shooting Canon for the first time and his evaluation of the differences. I emphasize "working" because it's about an aspect many of us here don't think about - the need to have immediately shareable images straight out of the camera. My brother, as you all know by now, is professional photojournalist and is pretty much required to shoot JPEG since photos need to be uploaded almost immediately after an event for publication. In his words, "I've barely got time to get them transferred to my laptop for upload let alone do a bunch of RAW tweaking. There's no way I can afford to shoot RAW, particularly with sports." In the past he's expressed how impressed he is with the performance of Nikon's sensors, particularly with high ISO, so until I read this blog I didn't quite understand why so many pros shoot Canon.
The article title is a little misleading as this person "switched" because they had to for an event and did not switch permanently. A lot of points he made have me thinking more about what I would do if I needed to post my images straight out of camera?
