Touch the Light.....
John MacPherson
Landscape and Environmental Photography from Scotland
Equipment choice is a personal preference. I choose what suits me and suits the work I need to do.
If you are interested in photography, and wonder if Brand X is better than Brand Y, or should you buy Brand Z, and will a cheap Sigma lens be better on the Brand Z body than a very expensive Nikon/Canon/Minolta/Pentax lens................I am not sure I can help! That difficult decision is yours. There are literally hundreds of sites on the 'net where you can find all the information you will need. The little bit of information I have included here should explain why I use the kit I do, but of course my choices may not suit your needs, however I hope it helps in your decision making.
The truth is that modern equipment from the major manufacturers is ALL good. Various brands each have their strengths and weaknesses, and to choose between them you need to determine your needs for the work you intend to do, and what fits your budget.
A very accomplished professional told me when I was younger that the most important piece of equipment you will ever use in photography lies about 3 inches behind the camera...............advice I have tried to use every time I take a picture.
