Switching between systems.     posted on 3rd of july, 2008

I wonder how many of you have switched between DSLR systems. You have all that gear from one manufacturer and you suddenly realize you want to switch.

I, personally, haven't had that experience yet, but I was so surprised to learn that one of my favourites, a well known photographer Scott Bourne, a Canon user, decided to make a move to Nikon.

He justifies his decision in this blog thread.

Takes some time to sell stuff, buy and get accustomed to the new, for sure. But when you really know what you expect from the gear, it's never too late to change.

After reading the blog I carefully examined my own experiences with my Pentax system and (gladly) ended up with conclusion - I don't need to move :)

Let me quote something from Scott: "It's just a camera, not religion".

That is so True Sebastian...As a photographer we do become a bit hostile when a person puts down our gear..... - posted by Pureradiancejennifer on July 08, 2008
Hmmm that is quite interesting, I agree with Scott in that you should use the camera that fits the style in which you shoot, and having the best camera around might not always be the best choice. - posted by Mattography on July 03, 2008

    About Me

I got into photography as a teenager, my very first camera was Smena, then Practica, I truly reminisce hours spent in a darkroom. But it was only when digital era started that I truly started to enjoy shooting - the effects of your work seen immediately, easier learning curve, comfortable and unlimited post-processing possibilities made things much more fun.

Apart from taking my own shots, I teach and work as an Image Editor here at Dreamstime, which means looking at hundreds of photos daily. And although I've reviewed half a million of images, I'm still impressed how much talent there is around:)

Don't take photos. Make them!

I'm one of the editors on Dreamstime.
