![]() which is fine by me but perhaps not so helpful if you are trying to produce a photography website.įor my part, I think Canon makes excellent tools for photography. Compared to companies like Sony and Nikon, Canon is a little slower and more deliberate with its new models, and often they don't seem to have specs which immediately sound exciting. ![]() In fact, even just lamenting the fact that Canon "still lags" in some way is probably helpful in generating hits. which gives DPR plenty of things to write about in an "exciting" (ie hit inducing) way, whether by saying how fantastic some new thing is, or even just talking about some new product even if they aren't that impressed by it. Those companies introduce new models relatively frequently, they tend to throw in "new technology" each time, and Sony's Exmor sensor has been measurably better for low ISO DR. In that context, it is not so hard to see why DPR seems biased against Canon, and towards Sony and Nikon. Also, they have an obvious interest in generating hits for their website, and I assume also in having people buy products via links on DPR. However, from what I have read (and admittedly I haven't read much recently - I gave up on DPR a while ago) they seem more interested in the technology than photography. My theory is DPR isn't intentionally biased. Roger, on the other hand, is giving his professional opinion (he is not a paid reviewer) of the empirical data he personally measures, along with that data, and his work does not rely on the good grace, sales, nor advertising dollars of the camera companies, unlike DPR. Hopefully first they will produce a brilliant M camera to show the way.Ģ/ People say DPR are biased because what they write is easily shown to be biased, and the 'examples' they post to illustrate Canon 'issues' are complete falsifications. I believe Canon will be able to produce a brilliant mirrorless full frame camera. I like the ability to view the photograph after it's taken through the view finder. I'm looking forward to Canon's first attempt at it in full frame. Because the mirror is a mechanical moving part I presume at some point it will be consigned to history. Sony are really pushing the forefront of technology with their cameras but don't (as yet) have the same range of glass.įrom this article I got the impression that the Canon Mount has a great potential for mirrorless than Sony. My personal favourite is Bryan at the Digital Picture but there are many good ones out there.Ĭanon do so well partially because they have such a fantastic range of lens to go with rock solid cameras. They tend to be the personal view of the reviewer and are just one source of information. I've read many DPR reviews and found them to be pretty reasonable in their comments in terms of praise and criticism of particular cameras. ![]() I couldn't see it to be in their interest at all to be biased. As far as I know its owned by Nikon or Sony. You might not agree with their methods or what they look for in a camera but I couldn't see why they would have any reason to be biased at all. I can't see why DPR would be biased at all. Only one thing should be kept at the forefront of all our minds with regard to topics like these, shoot what is best for you. All the arguing for one side or the other is merely an exercise in futility. I am also not opposed to one day picking up another Canon or other branded DSLR if there is to come a body I feel compelled enough to use over what I have in the bag now. This is precisely why although I no longer own a DSLR, I still use numerous Canon DSLR lenses. Canon is still the most reliable company out there offering the widest range of products in their ecosystem and backing the entire line with highly regarded support. But that doesn't mean that I feel other people should make the same decision. I for one got rid of my last Canon DSLR months ago as I just didn't feel it gave me what I needed as much as my mirrorless rigs. It all goes back to the sayings "horses for courses," and "different strokes for different folks." There are obvious advantages and conversely, disadvantages to both platforms and only the shooter can determine for themselves which one is best suited to their needs. Not really sure why we have gotten into the dogma of either having to choose one side or the other.
