Many ask me if Nikon cameras are better or if they are Canon . The answer, for those of you who are just in time and cannot read the whole article is that there is no better brand than the other by definition . Those who want to know why keep reading.
WHICH IS BETTER SLR CAMERA: NIKON OR CANON?
Both Canon and Nikon are great brands of prestigious renown, brands that have proven their worth and concern over many years to offer the user a good, high-performance product, and that is the best possible combination of performance, price and quality . I tell you one thing: if you meet someone who effusively recommends one of the two brands but criticizing the other brand, do not trust, that person does not know what he says. Seriously. In this field of SLR cameras there are many fanaticisms, people who have had and treated a lifetime with an X mark believe that this is the best brand in the world, and so they recommend it to their friends and family. I can understand that because they have had positive experiences with a particular brand they want to promote and recommend, so far so good, what I don't think is appropriate is that they strive to discredit the other brand, just for fanaticism, often with a lot of ignorance . Most people lean towards one brand or another, Canon, Nikon (or other brands) almost by chance: or because a friend has had that brand, or because its price has seemed more affordable, etc. But today, there is no consensus among experts that one brand is CLEARLY better than the other. I know people happily in love with Nikon (as is the case with a server) as well as others for whom photography is synonymous with the word "Canon." If you search most blogs, forums and websites for analysis and criticism of both Canon and Nikon you will always find good and bad experiences. For me it is always the good experiences that count, since the bad ones most of the time come from the fact that people buy cameras without first knowing what they are looking for, because there is a camera for each of us and there are what to know to find her That said, let's turn to the facts and concrete data:COMPATIBILITIES
In the case of Nikon, most of its SLR cameras and lenses manufactured since 1959 are compatible with each other. For Canon, this is not always the case, there are some limitations, but in very rare cases, for example, if we want to use a lens before 1985, it is very likely that it will not be compatible, but all EOS lenses are compatible with all of its EOS SLRs. An advantage of the Canon is that, with a small adapter, it allows you to use Nikon lenses (those that come from Nikon and have Nikkor lenses but would like to pass you to the other side, that of Canon, is possible).NEW CAMERA MODEL SALES
Nikon has the habit of announcing his cameras a couple of months or so before putting them on sale, which is useful, because it hurts a lot to spend all your savings on a SLR camera to discover the 2 or 3 days that have already taken A new model. But basically this is a small defect of Nikon's commercial management. This house has always been good to announce but never knew how to sell its products quickly and quickly. There were years when they announced a camera (I think the D100, back in 2002) and was not available for sale until almost a year and a half later. Canon, on the other hand, announces and puts its models on sale almost instantly.PICTURE QUALITY
Do not be fooled, Nikon and Canon of similar prices normally offer similar image qualities , with very rare exceptions. Even when one of these exceptions occurs, almost no one can see that difference in quality. Good photos are good, period, it doesn't matter if they were taken with one camera or another, yes or no?SETTINGS AND EASE OF MENU OPTIONS
My personal experience is that in Nikon most of the settings that we have to touch continuously (ISO, white balance, exposure compensation, etc.) are within reach, accessible very quickly. On the other hand, the times I have used Canon, I admit to having found some slight complication, since to get to the adjustment you have to enter the menu and look for the adjustment in question.JPG COMPRESSION AND QUALITY
The theory says that JPG photos full of details, light and colors tend to take up more space on the memory card, unlike darker images, with less detail, less objects and fewer colors, which usually take up less space. Here Canon cameras do a better job: when an image has a lot of detail Canon cameras usually generate a larger JPG file, and when this is not the case the JPG is usually smaller, as is logical. Nikon, on the other hand, tends to have his JPG files all the same size, thus wasting valuable space and spoiling the quality of the file many times.HELP
Most Nikon DSLRs (I think they all) carry a small button with a question mark, for quick help. As soon as you touch it they explain the function in which you are at that moment. Canon doesn't have that little button, you'll always have to go to the booklet ;-P As you can see, each of the 2 big brands has its advantages and disadvantages, so do not eat your head, please do not go crazy, I know that a purchase of this caliber is a decision that must be taken very carefully, but Many times we can fall into the error of hearing one opinion, then another, then another, and another and another, and just when we are about to make the purchase, we reread another opinion, and we go crazy. I hope you have it a little clearer now. Neither Canon is better than Nikon or vice versa. Say it out there please, recommendations and votes are welcome We read each other.
