Canon vs Nikon in real time


So today was a busy day for me.. well kinda. I forgot something really important with it's date due end of this month haha so had to rush over to the Island to finish it. Then the rest of the day was pretty boring and exciting at some points lolz. I managed to scout gears for my camera although I forgot to check out how much my camera would be worth if i were to trade it or something XD must've slipped my mind (that doesn't mean I'm selling it).

So I sat at the camera shop and chatted with the guy who seems very pro =P and he's a Canon man btw. I managed to get some prices for tripods, filter, lens and lenses lolz. However i still need to work with my finance minister about budget. Really fun time at the shop though went looking for hires as well.

After that took off to INTi field to play football with a LARGE group of people :) after sooo long and after missing it last week although in the process hurt my thumb AGAIN!!! not that bad though, just slight pain for catching the ball wrongly. Went to Justin's place for a shower and it was time for BOWLING!!!!! woot woot!! headed to BJ for the firebrands:ONWARDS outing at the alley. My job however was not to play but to shoot :) and that's what I did with given opportunity. The best part was.. the hands on comparison of Canon and Nikon, it was the 20D(ancient fart) vs the D90(young chap), 8mp vs 12mp, facing off with high ISO low light rink.
Although after a while the Nikon went "f - -" like literally that's what showed in the lcd panel haha don't know what went wrong, while the Canon remained steady and did it's job. I did manage to set the two to a duel shooting a shoe... :) with the same settings.

Both in Extended ISO modes blasted to the highest or (H) on my 20D, at about 42mm zoom, f4.5 and 4.8 for the Nikon, my tammy 24-135 vs the Nikkor 18-105. And the results were amazing. lolz.. a few shots measured and tested before that and I fell in love with the Nikon's high ISO low noise processing, whereas my baby went a lil noisy compared to the D90. However I still like the color tone on mine :) just a little warmer than what you'd get from the Nikon. It's hard to describe it all here so i'll post up the pictures when i get it from the Nikon owner :) till then have fun

It's here.. the comparing shots.. although not shot exactly at the same settings but this is off the camera.
