Is Canon number #2?

Canon vs Nikon, will it ever end ?




In Toronto indeed you can see more Canon DSLR then Nikon.

It will never ends, this "war" is fueling sales.
In Toronto, when you look at the Craigslist you can see two distinctive groups of sellers: first is selling theirs Canon gear as they switch to Nikon, the second one is selling Nikon gear as they go back to Canon.

All depends on if you are hanging out with professionals or amateurs. All depends on what Best Buy has on sale around Christmas, and how good the sales people are. I don't think one has a huge market share over the other.

It's the ford vs Chevy, apple vs android, Red Sox vs Yankees.

Either way the consumer wins in the end by having a competitive market.

Most of the equipment in my area on CL is Nikon...once in a blue moon do I actually find Canon gear. It is sadly disappointing for my equipment bag...:sigh:

Canon makes a lot of money selling office machines...everybody knows Canon makes bitchin' photocopiers and calculators, right?

(This picture was shot with an old Nikon d-slr. Had it been shot with a Canon d-slr it would have been amazingly astounding and utterly awesome.)

I tend to hang out with photographers community and taking photography classes. I see most photographers carries Nikon camera. Seems like Nikon is very popular than Canon.

You need a way larger sample size before you can draw any even halfway accurate conclusions, because the market for both is worldwide.

Canon is a much larger company than Nikon is.

[pixelwhip]

there are much better cameras out there than canon/nikon.

just because it's the most popular, doesn't mean it's the best..

In NY, Canon dominates the market. This holds true for the pro and consumer market.

Canon and Nikon are the leading companies when it comes to professional cameras that do not only produce good quality, but also have the best autofocus and other such secondary hardware in them.

Who is #1 and who is #2 ? Well, when you ask about the quality of the cameras themselves, thats a head to head race since decades. In some respects Nikon is better, in others Canon is better.

It's the ford vs Chevy, apple vs android, Red Sox vs Yankees.

Either way the consumer wins in the end by having a competitive market.

The market for cameras is already hopelessly deterioated. Thats not a truely competitive market anymore, but a definite oglipole of a small group of big companies that dominate the market.

I'm fairly sure the poster was joking.

Other than that, if you have specific demands, and/or unlimited financial ressources, then theres of course better.

With Canon you just get more bang for your buck and more options.

Sony isn't number one, and enjoy my a700. Shoot what get's the job done, not what Ashton Kutcher or whichever tennis player Canon can buy up recommends.
