Good day and greetings
I hate to add to the already charged N Vs. C debate but the following is not
an opinion but a fact.
Many of you may recall that Pop Photo conducts annual photo contests and
publishes the winners in their January issue. I have been following this
contest from a few years and looking at the tech data I could gather that
more wining photographs have been taken by Nikon than any other camera.
Canon is the next highest and rest are far behind. The following are the
figures for three years.
1997: Nikon - 26; Canon - 19; Others not recorded but less compared to these
two
1998: Nikon - 26; Canon - 18; Minolta -10; Others not recorded but far less
compared to these three
1999: Nikon - 30; Canon - 13; Minolta -6; Pentax: 5; Rest all put together 8
(total 62)
This is a little surprising since I have read many times that Canon SLRs
outsell Nikon's. This being the caes I wonder why Nikon has out scored Canon
among the winners. I will be glad to hear your opinions why this is so. But
I request that there should be no flaming on this issue please.
Another important trend is that steadily (over the last three years) there
seems to be more winners using Fuji than Kodak film. In fact in the 1999
contest, for the first time, more winning photographers seem to have used
Fuji than Kodak
Regards
