Canon or Nikon?

Which camera brand makes the mark?

A good friend of mine recently asked me the question, and she isn't the first. That question has come up too many times to count. I'm also guilty of that once upon a time before becoming a photographer. So here it is, my piece of mind on the topic and some factual information to help YOU find the perfect camera tailored to fit your needs.

I did the research for you, now all you have to do is continue reading, and determine which category of a photographer you fall in and what camera is best for you.

Both brands have come a long way and have been consistent in bringing out high quality gear into the photography market. It's an unfair question to ask. It's like comparing apples to apples. Fuji or Honey Crisp? Both are good but, really, you should be asking, which one is better for you?

It's like customizing your camera. Not every high end camera that Canon or Nikon produces will be meant for you. By narrowing down what you are looking for, you preferences, and needs, it will allow you to find the camera best for you whether it is a Canon or a Nikon.

Take a look at this website: http://www.digital-slr-guide.com/canon-vs-nikon.html

It lists and compares the Canon and Nikon cameras equal in level and similar in specifications. This will help you visually compare each one in its category. It compares price, megapixels, stabilization, shutter speed, maximum photo capture, iso range, movie modes, and more. However, let's start by asking you some questions. Don't get distracted by reading the features and instead concentrate on yourself first. That shouldn't be too hard, right?


What type of photography will you be doing?

What do you want to do with your photos?

Now, you can ask, what camera is for me?

You're probably wondering which side I chose? I looked at both equally as I tried to make my decision on my lifetime best friend in the business. It wasn't easy and so I hope by writing this blog, it will help YOU.

Compared: Canon 7D & Nikon D7000

It came down to what I was going to to do with my camera. I do fine art. Nikon excels in speed and Canon in color. Which was more important to me and the work I intended to do? My work should answer for itself. Frankly, I'm quite loyal to my 7D but when I tried my sister's Nikon, their different features gave me a refreshing perspective on the different possibilities that can be done with Nikon as well.
