Nikon VS Cannon

[Techno Monster]

Which one do you prefer?
I personally prefer Nikon.

[Hyper]

Heh can't speak for myself.. But my grandfather who does photography as a hobby and has some expensive equipment prefers Nikon.. His pictures come out awesome and need little work after..

[Zazu]

I personally prefer Canon for two main reasons:

1) I learnt how to take good pictures on canon equipment

2) I prefer how canon cameras handle plus I know pretty well how they behave


Nikons do have their good points though, they're meant to be very good at handling low light / high ISOs.

[Yesterdays Hero]

I use Cannon

[nick]

Isnt this more a question of who owns a Canon or a Nikon, I would guess few people will have owned both and be in any real position to make a comparison.

[BuryYourFlame]

as my step-mom says: i like to shoot people with my cannon.

i've only used cannon's really, so i guess i prefer them :P

[mrmcdonaldduck]

cannon ftw

I think that is pretty much what it boils down to really. I grew up using Canon equipment so it's what I'll naturally go to and it would be vice versa for people using Nikon to learn with.

[Stewart]

I love Nikon! I live by them I love my D3000

[clone]

i like them both and i use them both :D

[Awesome]

Canon. I have the Canon Rebel XS with all the adjustable settings, light flashes, shutter speed, and everything.

[nick]

Why is it so many Canon users cant spell Canon ? Anyway I guess I must be a rebel, Pentax all the way.

[Zazu]

Ignore post.

I was being a twit.

[Silent]

I prefer Cannon

[BlackBetty]

I really like both.

[SimSailorNick]

I use Canon and i think it's great but i guess nikon's not that bad. :)

[Huskyboy132]

Nikon FTW!
I own a D60.

[Jove]

Generally It really just comes down to personal preference, I've used both a Canon and a Nikon and the only real difference seemed to be the way they are laid out.

[Origami]

Canon obsession? o.O
I prefer Nikon; personal preference I suppose.

[Deandre]

I have a Nikon SLR.

[Suicune]

I love Cannon! :D

[Patchy]

At school, they've always used Nikon and I've never doubted the quality/the ability to use it when I've never used SLR's before.

[SimplyTom]

I'd have to say cannon

[Country-Cowgirl]

Cannon is actually over all the better brand and product however Nikon is better value for the price. I eventually want a Cannon but I am planning for Nikon D3000 right now.

[finnguy]

Nikon because it is so much more affordable.

[jjr011294]

nikon my mom has one and i loves it

[nick]

If you really want price-competitive cameras go for a Pentax k-m or something. The only non-grey-market DSLR under $500.
HOORAY

There are other options. Pentax make great cameras and even better lenses. Want to learn photography - get a K1000, ebay, peanuts, wonderful camera. You will learn more from that than you ever can with a digital.

[WaahZombie]

canon!!

[ati5870]

Hm i prefer canon, a little bit cheaper for the cameras in general, atleast what i have noticed.

[The Madness.]

I have a Nikon camera for photography. So I guess I pick nikon. :P

[sCa45]

Cannon all the way. Although, I personally don't consider myself a photographer with my 10 megapixel point and shoot. It's just easy to carry around and takes good group pictures of friends.

[Ghost_Hunter]

I use Canon but I don't mind using Nikon.

[YesterdaysNews]

I have a Canon Rebel XS so I'll have to say Canon only because I've never used a Nikon. My friend's mom has a Nikon so I might have to ask to try hers out at some point. As for point and shoot cameras, I'd have to go with Sony :P.

[NeverTooLate]

Nikon :P

[Ender]

Definitely Nikon.

A poll would be awesome on this thread ;)

[Weeping]

Nikon ftw!

[Whisper]

Isnt this more a question of who owns a Canon or a Nikon, I would guess few people will have owned both and be in any real position to make a comparison.

Ya I have a Canon T2i (550D), I actually picked it over the Nikon D90
so Canon

[Syvelocin]

I haven't had a Nikon. Though, if anyone knows both of them, can anyone recommend me an excellent professional camera? I'm not worried about price, just quality.

I currently have a Cannon Powershot SX20 IS

Best D-SLR Professional: Nikon D3s TIPA award 2010

Taking up most of the functions that made the success of the Nikon D3, D3s marks a milestone in the history of photography: it is indeed the first DSLR to sport the record "push" sensitivity of 102 400 ISO. Superbly constructed, with an excellent viewfinder and a top-level autofocus system, it is ideal for DSLR for the pros, in particular for reportage and sport photography.

It comes down to what you want to do with it
they're both wicked cameras
it comes down to tailoring it for what you would be doing with it

[Abigballofdust]

Every camera by one of those two producers fills each other's misses. You just choose the one that fits you. There's no better or worse between those two, it's like comparing an Audi to a BMW, they are the same quality, the only thing that differs them is the buyer, that will choose one or an other out of his personal love with one or the other.
By the way, it's Canon. With one 'N'.

[aussiecasper]

me gusta nikon baby hahaha

[ImCoolBeans]

i use and love nikon products, the d3000 rocks. the color quality and image quality are both beautifuln

[horseboi]

Cannon all the way for me!!! I have a digital and love it!!!

[DrWho]

Cannon all the way for me!!! I have a digital and love it!!!

Same Here! Cannon Only For Me!

[broncoskid]

I have always used nikons. I had an N100 back in the film days. My first DSLR was a D60. Now I own a D90, a D200, and a D300s. I like nikon because I am familiar with the layout and I already have so many Nikkor lenses. I also own a Canon 50D and a Rebel T2i. Canon bodies are very durrable but they don't perform as well in low light or shoot in as wide a Color gamut as the Nikons do. But Canon bodies usually shoot faster(FPS) and shoot better video than Nikons do. As for which one is better, it all depends on witch feels best in your hand really. (and how much money you are willing to spend)

[CatchingOrigami]

I love my little Panasonic. It's not the best but it's good enough for me. When my photography improves I'll probably invest in a Nikon SLR, but that will require further looking into n.n

[ajsdlkfjaois]

Canon
But i shoot with a finepix s200exr & Sony cybershot dscw190

[ikhasgkfjh]

Cannon T2i <3
