Its funny, how true these arguments are, and how each one of them is truly valid, yet totally pointless after the basics have been established! Oh, here's my tuppence... I've shot both Canon and Nikon extensively, and they're totally different both in image response and handling... and they're both good. Lets hope there's some peace here for a while...

There are some actual differences between the sensors, but just like every other topic here, each has it's positives and negatives. I know I'll be sticking to APS-C sensors for a while, but only because all my glass is made specifically for that size. I think the higher MP discussions have been trailing off recently... maybe... at least for the compact camera group. It seems like people are finally becoming a little more aware of the fact that megapixels aren't everything in a compact camera. Many photographers are on board with this idea, and I think it's starting to leak into the general public via things like forums and blogs. I'm sure that it's still a heated discussion on some levels, though, like on the bigger sensors. I wish people would understand that there are trade-offs to having more pixels packed in the same sized sensor. I’d say the sensor size topic is another semi-pointless topic.

The Nikonians and Canonites must be getting more agressive -- usually they wait for somebody to pop the "what camera should I buy" question before breaking into battle mode. It is nice to know the flaws of a camera before buying one, but I've found that the best place to find that is usually from a good solid online review site like <a href="http://www.dpreview.com" rel="nofollow">dpreview.com</a>. They're usually pretty honest about the ups and downs of a particular camera, and they typically compare cameras against other brands in the same performance class. Wow!

Or perhaps if higher the MP a camera has to offer, the better? People in HK care much about these. hmm…I am wondering if Sensor size(APS-C/FF/four-third) is another heated pointless topic.

Ask them something about their camera and they start praising the brand to the skies! What I really want to know are the flaws, however small and negligible they are. So that I can decide whether the flaws are the kind I can afford to put up with or not. But no, all they do is praising one brand and bashing the other.All this when I don't even ask for advice on which camera to buy! :-) The most common thing I always come up against is Canon Vs Nikon – what irritates me is how people start recommending their brands the moment they know I use a compact and am planning to buy an SLR.

I started posting to some forums a while back, and after a couple weeks there weren't many new topics to talk about. It just seemed like different people were asking the same questions over again.

What’s wrong is that people keep in bringing the same topic over and over again when actually a lot of answers have been published for such query. The answer to all this is for you guys to read and don’t just post into forums about something that’s already been archived. There are lots of stories and topics to discuss so leave the old and answered ones behind. It’s time to talk about something new. I found nothing wrong with these topics.
