Whats better Nikon Or Canon?

Yes that's because Canon and Photoshop go hand in hand :naughty:

I'm saying nothing new to this "friendly banter" other than this, until the 7D came out there was no fast shooting crop camera around so for a while Nikon took all the semi serious high speed shooters.
Just my very humble opinion :shrug:

Your forgetting the MKIII though, and apart from the well documented early AF problems and the also well documented fact that the D3 beats it at high ISO its an excellent camera :)

Ah... don't worry about it.
It's virtually all in fun. There are some "fan boys" of both persuasions out there but nobody takes any real notice of them!
 
While we all love to joke about it, the real answer is neither is better overall...
Both systems have faults, both systems have advantages.

The trick is to decide what works best for you.

In 'real-world' conditions, you'll be hard-pressed to tell what images were taken on what cameras, all other factors being equal.

And if there are more posts here from Canon-owners, then it's because all Nikon owners are out actually taking photos while the Canon owners sit at home, polishing their lenses and crowing about the lovely bokeh...lol
 
I've used Canon and Nikon in the past. Like David Bailey says ' It's just camera! I use what I need for the job.'

Canon ultrasonic lens are the fastest and most quiet. But I love the Nikon bodies.

At the moment I use Fuji S5s for school work. with Nikon lens on. and Canons for weddings and some motorsport.

Best go out and try, and see what suits and feels right to you.

Sony is the old Minolta if I recall and they are a photocopier with a lens stuck on.
Pentax? someone was rumoured to have one, but that was just a rumour.....
 
if all yout friends use canons ,,,get a nikon , then they cant keep asking to use your lenses :D
 
Nikon, Canon pfftt Sony is the happening brand :lol:
 
As David DuChemin says, gear is good but vision is better.

Set your budget, try the options and pick the one you prefer. That's all there is to it. The rest of it is internet wibbling. Pass that stuff by and spend the time on taking photos instead.
 
Neither they both are good whichever you prefer :)
 
People take images, cameras are the tools to do so.
 
Aside from the normal Canon vs Nikn bashing, I am another who has had both
I started with Nikon but changed to Canon as the sports togs i worked with used them so it meant i could borrow gear, and also, they swoe blind that Canons ae sharper

I do like the sound of the new Nikon though with its fantastic ISO capabilities

I think that sums it up - and it works the other way too. I just swapped from Canon to Nikon for - to me - very good reasons, reasons that even after the change are still valid. I still have the Canon though and am *very* reluctant to give it up, it still does what I want it to do perfectly well, but only on good days for me.

In all probability both make cameras that far exceed your ability to get the best out of them, so asking which is best is rather a moot point.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::thumbs:

That got me in stitches :clap:
 
I'll sit on the fence here.

I love my D700 but have only ever used Nikon SLR's so it's really all I know. I also love the Canon G10 that we use for diving.
 
It's got to be Nikon, I mean, Canon can't even come close with the quality of their telephoto lenses.

Oh, wait...

Hi Mike, not really. I had the Canon so long it's like an old pair of slippers - I don't often look at the menus, just twist/poke and shoot. The Nikon's a bit odd though but I am getting there. Still use the Canon if I know I have to think fast!

If this forum were 100 years old the topic would be...

what's better, wet plates or dry?

40 year ago
Zenth or Praktica?

Hundreds of years ago - which brush should I use.... if I bought the same brush Van Gaugh or Rembrant would I be as good a painter?

Nowadays there are few cameras that will ever limit the photographer...
.. I make my living from photography as a wedding/portrait photographer and if I had to I could use just about anything....

...in my teens my first decent 35mm was a Rollei - my father when he went from his 6x6 down to 35mm it was Canon - but it broke after 6 months and he bought Nikon. I changed to Nikon so I could use some of his kit... as it made sense to have just one brand... and 30+ years later I use a D3 having used F2, F3, F100, Fuji S1, Kodak 760 (Nikon F5 with digi back), Fuji S5 on the way....

However, Canon have some great cameras and lenses too - and don't rule out the Sony - a lot of camera for the money...

The camera brand is not important

Not at all... I'm just off to polish my lenses. Did I tell you about the bokeh on my 85mm f/1.2? Note that's 1.2

:lol: :p

Yeah that third of a stop makes all the difference when you've had too much coffee...:lol:
 
Canon and Nikon both make good cameras and lenses. My first DSLR camera was the Canon 400D. Last year I changed to the Nikon D300, one of the reasons was because of high ISO performance. The Canon 400D was a good camera to learn on but the D300 is great on high ISO performance :). Whatever camera you decide to go for, the most important thing is to enjoy it and get the one that is right for you :), that's my two pence worth of advice :lol:

I started out using Nikon over 25 years ago (EM/FG/FE/FA) had a couple of Autofocus models too F301/F801).
When digital came along I swapped to Canon (D30/D60/30D)
Then moved on to a Fuji S5 Pro 12 months ago and now back full circle using a Nikon D2X.

I'm comfortable using most names/brands - its not the camera that makes you a good photographer. Its the person controlling it!
