CANNON or NIKON?

[unpopular]

Title says it all, Cannon or Nikon, and WHY. I was either a d7000 or a EOS 60d

Nikon sensors still relies on frequency induction, which will lead to decreased gain at the quantum gate junction. On the other hand, Canon cuts a lot of corners optically, relying on the Schmiddt Effect for phase alignment in the optical collation section of most of their lenses, except a few which use piezomodulation instead.

Definitely cannon, you get a lot more bang.

Canon
I love 550d.

For counter-battery fire or against massed infantry, definately the cannon. For boudoir and birthdays, the Nikon.

I have to disagree with the 'pick on feel' aspect here. They're both relatively similar feeling cameras. I use both of these cameras regularly (I use the D7000 daily and the 60D maybe weekly). Do I prefer Nikon's two knob system over Canon's knob and wheel located on the back? Yeah, slightly. Is it that big of a difference? No. The bodies are virtually the same weight and size and feel to my hands. It's not like we are talking about the 7D v. the D7000 here, which do have a substantial difference in feel between one another.

You know what are big differences to me, the D7000's large and noticeable advantages in:

Image quality
High ISO performance
dynamic range
auto focus system
viewfinder
dual storage slots
burst speed

To me, those are all more important than the relatively small difference ergonomically between these two cameras.

The 60D has a tiny bit more resolution (which is more than paid for with its increased noise) and it has a flip out screen. Those are its two advantages over the D7000. Well, also it's usually $150 cheaper than the D7000 as well.

Yeah but the Cannon would blow your face off. Autofocus that!

I love Canon

 

[fractionofasecond]

Get a Nikon, at least you spelled that one right, or you could always go with a Sonny.

yeah. comparing Nikon and Canon is like comparing GM and Ford. You can debate all you want, but in the end their still pretty "meh".

Probably video too. Nikon hasn't quite caught up on that front too. But that's just a guess from knowing Canon vs. Nikon video specs on other cameras.

And what exactly is the Audi brand? You know, not much more but with much better performance? Definitely not Sony, Pentax, or Olympus. What other brand out there offers superior DSLRs to Canon and Nikon? The only other company I know that offers a full frame is Sony and from what I hear it's nothing spectacular. If you want to jump to Leica, Hasselblad, Mamiya, or any other large sensor cameras your price goes from $1500-$3000 to $8,000 on the lower end and up from there. IIRC, an entry level Hasselblad will run you over $12,000.

You'll renounce photography and become and artist?

Sony is definitely the Honda Civic!

But this has nothing to do with my point. Neither camera brand is all that exciting compared to one another.
