Nikon selected as "Best Photography Brand"
Nikon just one something called the "Which Awards." CLICK HERE to read all about it. Apparently this is the first time Nikon has ever won it. Sony won it last year. What I can't figure out is; what are the "Which Awards?" I've really never heard of them before. Has anyone ever heard of them? I have no idea if the award even really means anything.

It kind of made me wonder. Jun 21 15 09:59 pm Link Sounds like the old wine industry scam. Start up wine magazines/newsletters/blogs etc pick a fairly decent wine and give it some corny award. They know that the wine maker will give them free advertising by tagging their wines with "Winner 2014 Best small vineyard, LetMeBorrowYourCopierCode Wine News" Jun 22 15 12:58 am Link Take it from here: http://www.which.co.uk/about-which/what … ch-awards/ Jun 22 15 01:37 am Link Oh I have always felt My shooting game beeing a little bit off, I guess i'll just get a Nikon and everything will be awesome!!!!  Jun 22 15 01:43 am Link I think Nikon is really a great company with many great products recently. I shoot Nikon and really love it. I also shoot Panasonic and am so blown away with how great the gh4 is I can't believe it is going to get better with a ne v-log and anamorphic lens. Also new cinema lenses are being made just for the gh4. How cool is that? Not just the regular 1 inch and 2 inch but 1/4 inch too. Damn that's truly amazing. gotta love anamorphic squeeze. I forgot that it was Panasonic that invented it.

If so, it is a fairly heavy-duty endorsement because it has been made by a highly critical, truly independent body.

UK sort of sounds like the USA version of Consumer Reports. Jun 22 15 08:19 am Link wow, thanks for the correction. That's a nice article. I didn't know too much about it but I would love to shoot some. There was an old Panasonic camera that used to shoot anamorphic squeeze. I think the number was 100. That was the first time I got to play with one. I still vaguely remember it and want to try again. That was probably 20 years ago.

My first real camera was a Nikkorex: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikkorex 1963. LOL. Currently, D800. And I shoot video with the GH-3, while longing for the GH-4. Because I did a lot of research. RBD And... if my posture looks funny, it's because I'm patting myself on the back. LOL. Jun 22 15 11:25 pm Link you have the same equipment as me. I am selling my gh3 to get a g7 when it comes out. I want the lighter weight and 4k. I also have the d800 but had to sell a kidney to get the trinity. I am slumped over from the lost kidney. not patting myself on the back. Jun 23 15 05:11 am Link If they are the UK version of Consumer Reports, does that mean they are also unreliable? Jun 23 15 05:13 am Link All I could think of was Chevy Vega Motor Trend Car of The Year I don't put much faith in magazine picks. Advertisers have too much influence, even if indirectly.

Jun 23 15 11:38 am Link "Finally, it should be as easy as possible to share photos shot with a camera. Wi-fi connectivity needs to be included as standard in the overwhelming majority of a manufacturers’ products." What a bizarre criterion. Nice for selfies, photojournalists, and perhaps sports photographer, but portraits? Landscapes? Nudes? It means sharing unedited images - "which" works for some genres, but not all.

Or you can check focus and stuff before striking a set. Jun 23 15 10:16 pm Link Kevin Connery wrote: Agreed, that's what's exciting about wireless in the future.

Jun 24 15 11:13 am Link Its nice for nikon. Never heard of the award before. Jun 25 15 02:16 pm Link |
