Getting rid of the DSLR?

The only reason I could see to get rid of it is if you

a - wanted to clear some space in your camera horde
b - wanted to finance a future gear purchase.

Otherwise, its not really hurting you to keep it around.

Hi!


I am Jerry Johnston and I have been a long time Canon user. Utilizing the Canon 40D, (17-40 L F4mm, 24-70 mm L F 2.8, 70-200 mm L F 2.8,
canon 580 EXii, 550 EX flashes).


I have been looking at switching to the
Olympus OM- D E 1 4/3rds camera.
My question is, Should I switch or
Which one of the Nikon cameras would be recommended
and why?


If I were to switch to Nikon what would be comparable to the Canon 40D or better? My aim is to improve my photos not only got myself, but for real estate. I have been doing photography for 10 years and would like to be able to not only sell the clients home but to take the photos of the clients home.


What I would want is a Nikon body with a grip, and a wide angle lens and a lens for covering events. maybe a flash. Or another lens. Pro lenses of course. And filters for both lenses. A camera that has wifi and the ability to use it with a MacBook Pro 15" retina display and an iPad Air.


After 10 years I finally see just how good Nikon is and what I have been missing.


I would be grateful for the assistance.


I look forward ward to your response.


All the Best,


Jerry Johnston

Both Canon and Nikon cameras are more capable than I am. Nikon has the edge in sensor technology indeed, but do you think that the difference would show up in your photos?

It won't in mine, which is why I still use a 10 years old Canon 5D. But with the best "glass" that I can afford. Because lens quality really does make a visible difference.

To be honest, and I'm not the biggest canon fan in the world, but Id stick with canon just because of your lenses. It will cost you a fortune to replace them in another brand. Take a look at the 6D. It will be a big improvement on the body you have now, and all you lenses are EF, so they will work fine.
