Nikon or Canon?

[NayLoMo6C]

those who say one brand is better than the other is clearly biased. the best ( and most logical) thing to do is to go out and actually try to get a hands on experience with both brands and see which one feels best for you. in the end it's you that determines the quality of your photos

Also, you don't need to start 5 THREADS. You just need to POST 5 times... as in... comment on OTHER peoples' threads.

I am a Canon user, my camera is 40D and 1000D. I love both of them alot. Although not able to shoot movie, they gave me good and sharp pics.

As for Nikon, I played with a D90 and a D700 briefly before, can't say I love about the feel of the camera, but both gave me great pics too.

So there... there really is no Nikon better or Canon better. Both brands made great cameras, it all boils down to personal preference.

If u go to my profile and check my statistics in this forum, you will count 14 posts in total that I posted (well, with this one, they will be 15 posts). However, the counter only shows 10 posts, under my username here (well, with this one i am posting here, it might show 11 posts).

When I started the intro thread of mine, I responded to 4 posts for OTHER peoples' threads (u can see them in the first 4 posts made from my side in my statistics - so they were one THREAD that i started and 4 posts that i posted: total should be 5 but the forum didnt count them for me) However, the counter did not add them up to the total number of posts that I posted, so i thought that the forum required threads only instead. The second thread that I started, the counter started counting for me. I am new to the forum, so not familiar with it. Nevertheless, tried what I could. what i could.

Personally I believe they both have great qualities and very dependable. I've had a Rebel XT for about 3 years and never had any problems with it... however I recently changed to a Nikon D3100 and can't seem to put it down I've probably taken 1/2 as many photos in 3 months with the Nikon than I have in 4 years with the Canon. Maybe just my personal addiction but both great manufacturers !!

I just got a Nikon F100 and may soon get a d90. I have yet to get my first roll of film back from my first Nikon which is the F100, we'll see how she preformed! Well, we'll see how I preformed lol. I like the way a Nikon fits in my hands better than the Canon. That's all I can tell ya!

Most other photographers I've talked to that are Nikon users all say the same thing: Nikon has better ergonomics. You can hold it in your hands more comfortably, the menu system seems more intuitive, etc. I'm actually a Canon user, and haven't really used anything Nikon besides the D300 (which is sweet camera). I do think that in the long run Nikon has an edge over Canon in ergonomics, but it just comes down to preference. The new Canon menu systems (starting with the 40D and onward) are much better now, and almost every new body has 3" improved LCD. I shoot video as well, so Canon is my choice hands down. 5D Mark II is my flagship.

Its always a preference and when you have made that decision to buy a nikon or canon you are likely to stick withbit as you have bought a bundle of lenses, to change is too painful financially. So I guess that folks then make up their mind that what they have is best.

I just went though a process of deciding to stick with Nikon or change to Canon. I stuck with Nikon as I had 3 Nikon dedicated flasguns and would use the old camera as a backup so that I could use the lenses across my main and spare.

So am Nikon now but in film days I was Canon.

Stop worrying about what everyone else is shooting, just focus on making your photographs better.

Hey
There is nothing so special about Nikon or cannon these are just brand names what you should care about is the technical aspect I mean shutter speed, megapixel ,........
I have both cannon and nikon. For me both are best.

Used gear value is almost entirely determined by the condition of the item, and the salesmanship skills of the seller.

I would almost be willing to bet there are fewer than 10 TPF members that own a top-of-the-line, pro level, Canon 1D MkIV.
