Nikon, Thanks for a wonderful 30 year career! You have been the most dependable things that I’ve ever owned. However, as I begin my 4th year in video production the right choice was to invest in Canon cameras and lenses. This one system will produce top quality photographs as well as 1080 P HD video. The Canon 5D Mark II has a 21 megapixel CMOS censor. This is sharper than film! And, the incredible video quality has rocked the industry. It has been used in feature films and for HD television broadcasts like the Fox network’s House. This is a creative rebirth for me in both photography and video.
