Woohoo!!! The end of midterms!

Last day of midterms today. What a relief! After 1 1/2 weeks of pure studying, finally got to chill today! :) Well I can't say I did well in midterms but hey I got through it. :) Its really stressful! Haha. Oh well, that's life. Hope i did better this time around compared to last semester. FInally got to unwind. Siyempre, tapos na (for now) ang sobrang pag-aaral and got to spend time with "pareng miguel". Sarap!!! :) And of course got to unwind with my friends. Thanks Nas, Coloy and Dinbo! Sobrang sarap mag unwind and not think of law school at least for a day or 2. :) Looking forward to the next gimmick/inuman/tamang chillax time. :)

*After several months of being absent from sports shooting, I'll get to finally shoot again tomorrow! Sana manalo!! Time to test the new lens and D200 in one of my favorite areas in photography! I'll be posting the pictures here. :)

Canon and Nikon : What's all the fuss about? :)


I used to be a Canon user and have 2 outstanding lenses that can basically capture almost everything. And now, I did the unthinkable, I'm a Nikonian. People keep on debating which one is better and having tried both, here's what I got to say about it: Both are GREAT!! Of course there are compromises but then again, its always a matter of preference. But though you prefer one over the other, it does not mean that the other system is not good. Here are a few comparisons between the 2 cameras that I have used (Canon EOS 20D and Nikon D200).

1. Both feels good in the hand since they're both made of magnesium alloy. The D200 is weather sealed though. :)

2. Both have ISO 3200 (really useful) but Canon has a better noise management.

3. Both are 5 frames per second (really fun).

4. 10 Mp for D200 and 8 Mp for Canon. Means nothing really if you print 4R, 5R, or even 8R.

5. Both have great lenses though I'm loving the 18-200 VR. :)

6. The lenses I used to have for Canon are sharper but the Nikon lens is not that bad and gets the job done. I'm not a pro or anything nor am I a photographer. I just love taking pictures.

Bottom Line: Both are great cameras. In the end, I realized that its all about capturing that moment, regardless if you're using Nikon or Canon. Its the picture that is the most important. :)
