burgosmichael24

Between Canon and Nikon, I prefer much on Canon. It's easy to use for me. However, the camera brand that I usually use was Olympus.

I had an Olympus as well, it was pretty good, I used it as a practice camera. I mostly took macro shots and pics of the kiddos. But if I'm to choose between Canon and Nikon, I'll choose Canon just because of the auto focus. And canon lenses are just the best!

In the past which means pre digital age, my brand of choice is Olympus. Olympus cameras are really user friendly and takes good photos then but sadly when the digital cameras took over Olympus didn't make the cut that's why I bought Nikon and it's my fave brand nowadays.

I think I prefer Canon too. Maybe it's because I'm more used to it than other brands. I just have a simple digital camera. Nothing fancy. Though, I don't use it as much anymore due to phones getting better cameras.

I would have to choose Nikon because it's my favorite camera brand. It's DSLR and Coolpix cameras are affordable, uncomplicated and very simple to use and it takes professional looking photos and clear videos.

I’ve always been a fan of Canon cameras. The first camera I ever got was a hand-me-down, point-and-shoot digital camera from Canon. It wasn’t anything fancy but it’s what kind of sparked my passion for photography. Later on when I went to college, I took a course in digital photography so I ended up getting a Canon DSLR. It’s lasted me about six years so far, and it still holds up very well considering the pace at which technology develops. Sure, it doesn’t have 4K and all of that, but I consider that unnecessary for the time being.

In any case, during my time in college I got to try out a wide array of cameras, including Nikon and Sony cameras. While I can’t rail on them too much, there is something about the user interface and general design of Canon products that I always preferred over other brands.

I think that I would prefer the canon brand of camera because it is more popular and more reliable for me. I had once a canon printer free with my purchased laptop and I can say that it is really good in terms of service and one of the trusted brand that I am using for now.

Interesting that so many of you like Canon - I've honestly never had a Canon and always prefered Nikon myself. I might have to see if any of my family or friends have a Canon that I can test out to see how I like it. I'm always open to new products but have just had great experiences with my Nikon products that I haven't seen a need to switch.

I love both Canon and Nikon. They both deserve a spotlight for me since they both work well on their own. Both have distinctive texture when taking photos and so you'll definitely see the difference. When taking photos in motion, Canon is on the upper hand. When it comes to taking still photos, I would go for Canon. They are both good on their own fields.

I'm in a bit of a dillemma because the first camera that I ever used and indeed the one with which I learnt the majority of my photographic and videographic skill was actually a canon. That being said, my absolute work horse is now the Sony A7Sii and from my understanding it is effectively a sister to the Nikon D line of cameras because not only does it share sensor and processor qualities but also has lenses manufactured by the same organisation. In other words, I'm torn, I would probably go with Canon for the colour science and perhaps Nikon if I needed something more run n gun.

I honestly can't decide since I have neither of the two. I use a different brand, but, I also hope that I could one day buy a new camera of another brand. I don't care if it's Nikon or Canon, I would want to try both.

TheArticulate

That's a good perspective to have. In terms of photography, both brands offer quite a bit, and it's good to try both to see which you prefer. When it comes down to it, one doesn't necessarily take better photos than another (it's all about the photographer using the camera, not the gear), so it's better to pick a brand that has the features and ergonomics that suit you.

Just personal preference for me, Nikon is my choice. I have used Nikon products for a number of years now and I've always had great experiences with them - there just hasn't been a need to differentiate to another brand. They've got durable cameras that perform well in a range of conditions.

Well I have never tried Nikon but I am also open for any possibilities of trying such brand to compare the difference of the two camera brands.

Canon all the way. Since I lean toward video production, I think it's important to note that Canon offers a much better selection of cameras that have powerful video capabilities as well. Nikon doesn't offer much that can challenge Canon in this area.

My dad was a Canon photographer growing up as well, so that played a huge role for in terms of brand loyalty. Growing up around Canon cameras make it easier for me to start working with them much easier.

I do agree that more Canon Camera models offer better video capabilities than Nikon but when it comes to photos, they're just the same in terms of quality. The thing is Canon has more models than Nikon does.

Of course Canon is still the best for me. I have tried the Nikon but I don't know how to navigate it as I use to shoot in Canon SLR . I tried to borrow Nikon from my cousin before back when I was in college and when we had a class for Photography subject, I found it hard to control and navigate the settings since I am not familiar with it. Canon is more easy to use and it's good for close up portraits. Nikon is for landscapes but I will still choose Canon.

It’s interesting because I feel like a big part of it comes down to what you started out using. I’ve always been a Nikon user so I find them exceptionally easy to navigate but that may not be the case for someone who is completely new to the brand.

I think it happens to all of us that the first brand you use is going to be the most comfortable to use and when you try to use other brands, you find it more difficult since you are more familiar with the controls of the first brand.

I would go with Canon. Ever since I was a child, my parents use a digital camera to take photos of our family.

Japan really is renowned for producing quality cameras. There, you can even get second hand cameras that are in amazing condition for a fraction of the price. Anyone who visits there, try Akihabara in Tokyo. It’s known as “electric town” and you’ll find all manner of technology and even appliances for sale at some incredible prices.

I have a chance to own both cameras before but I could not see the difference. Maybe I was just not knowledgeable before in determining the right specs for photography. Either way, both are still good in digital photography.

In terms of most of their models, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the brands. Their ergonomics are different and they sometimes offer some different attributes (i.e., Canon cameras typically offer better video capabilities than Nikon), so it's up to you to personally decide which brand to go with.

Honestly, you won't go wrong with either one. In the end, it's not really so much about what camera you're using, but more about the photographic eye behind the camera. You could have the best Canon or Nikon in the world, but if you can't take photos to save your life you're not going to take good photos regardless.

I'm more of a Nikon fan but that's because I was taught photography exclusively on Nikon cameras and have only ever worked with them. To me, Nikons have a much more professional feel that Canon cameras have. At this point trying to switch or even borrow a Canon is something I am simply unwilling to do. As they say, don't fix something that's not broken and that's excatly my relationship with Nikon cameras.

Check out lensprotogo.com. You can rent a Nikon camera and lens pretty affordably for a week or so. This will give you the opportunity to try the brand before you actually drop a lot of money on a brand (that you might or might not like).

That's great! It's nice that Canon has some good entry level cameras for people looking to get into photography. These are typically pretty affordable, too. You could get a used or refurbished Canon Rebel T3i or T6i, and start taking things from there.

Well i think that Nikon cameras are much better than Canon cameras. However i have always used a Canon camera for a long time now and it has been working great for me.

Nikon cameras are undoubtedly better but i have always felt that they are meant for professional photographers.

In what ways are Nikon cameras better than Canon cameras? What functions or attributes do they have that make them "meant for professional photographers"?

I don't doubt that in some aspects their brand may be better suited for something, but nobody here actually seems to put any reasoning behind their decisions.

Of the two brands, Canon cameras are used more where I come from. Canon's colour is known to be pretty good. Although some people will hate it for its sharpness. I haven't used Nikon a lot so, I can't speak with any authority how their cameras are. I have however seen a friend use one. I have to say, that didn't make me want to leave canon for Nikon.
