Nikon's New D90 Steals Canon's 50D's Thunder

mr. hawk

the 5d mk 2 will not compete with the d90. they are in different classes. that the d90 has video and geotagging does not mean that "Canon is going to have one heck of a challenge when they finally release their 5D Mark II". the 5d/2 will be able to produce far superior imagery than the d90. if canon adds geotagging and video capability to the 5d (or to a1d in the future) it will not be in response to nikon's consumer-model bells and whistles.

early tests show the d90 noise levels to be pretty poor at high iso. this nikon will probably not be able to compete with the 50d. from what i've seen it barely holds its own (at high iso) against the 40d.

while nikon may have come 'creatively out' with the d90 they certainly did not steal canon's thunder.

it's clear you don't really know cameras. you only make it worse with your ham-fisted writing. you tailor the facts to suit your point. first you cite how the d90 is "$400 *less* than the suggested retail price of Canon's 50D", implying it is a better deal. then, you refer to the d90 and the 50d as being direct competitors occupying the same price range (when you said "At least at the D90 50D-price point). this isn't all. your prose is clunky at best and grammatically incorrect at worst. when you turn a phrase like "you are likely to run into other people/friends etc who..." you need to separate 'etc' with a comma. also, etc is short for et cetera. it's not written 'etc' it's written 'etc.' -- you put a period after etc. even if it appears in the middle of a sentence.
if you had followed these elementary rules your phrase would have been "you are likely to run into other people/friends, etc. who..." almost the same thing but your version represents laziness and/or apathy at best and, at worst, hints at a lack of basic education.

i could go on. almost every sentence offers up a new target. for instance, you don't capitalize 'pro photographer'. oh, here -- let's take your first three words. you should have separated well from the rest of the sentence with a comma, as in: "Well, no sooner is Canon..." you manage to set the tone right off the bat, don't you. Okay, i guess you get the point.

your review is for gadget lovers, not photographers. from the level of writing i'd say semi-literate gadget lovers. please stick to what you know, whatever that may be. perhaps you could write a weekly column about your favorite burger/soft drink combo, or which superhero would make the best rock drummer.

looking forward to it.

your review is for gadget lovers, not photographers. from the level of writing and your poor understanding of the technical aspects of photography i'd say semi-literate gadget lovers. please stick to what you know, whatever that may be. perhaps you could write a column about video game cheats, or your favorite burger/soft drink combo, or which superhero would make the best rock drummer.

looking forward to it.
