From Nikon To Canon

[boulderbelly]

Hi folks  just bought a canon EOS 2000D  for astroimaging   after years of being Nikon minded and many having many nikons under my belt including  F5  film etc  I decided to bite the bullet and splash out on the oppositions 2000D..   my nikon D200 has 16mp and is good,  but has no live view so.. step in the EOS with its live view  and its a bit lighter than the  D200 too.  i never ever preferred canon  dunno why??🤔  but its like something you see in the shop window for days and keep goin back to see  but aint sure about .  anyway its time for a change so I am actually committed and now looking forward to the Canon EOS 2000D  and many nights  of the stars and planets.🛰️🔭📡

Canon are very easy to use cameras with good astronomy software support such as backyard EOS.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it for Astro

Hi

Another advantage is still being able to use your Nikon lenses -just add a cheap adapter-. Another being a route to myriad -many excellent- m42 lenses, such as Takumar as Zeiss, using an equally economical adapter. 

Cheers and good luck.

If you're planning on using it for long nights at the telescope, I can recommend investing in a mains power adaptor. Nothing worse than having your battery run out halfway through an imaging plan.  I bought the 70d equivalent of this and it's been a godsend...
