Canon or Nikon!!! In my opinion
This is all about my personal views and experiences with regards to Canon and Nikon cameras. I used to be a nikon user. I had the F serries body,FM10 F2,F3,F90 and Nikor lenses. Oops I almost forgot I also have Canon A1, AE1, EOS10, EOS5. When digital came along I started with Fuji S1. Then I bought the D1x D100 and even the point and shoot cool pix. Then canon came complete with fanfare and parade. It took me so much convincing to shift but I did. I sold my nikon prime lenses for bagsak presyo just so I can have the money to buy the new system. My point is this. Some photographers tend to brag about the brand of their cameras that they forget that no matter what brand you use you can still take good pictures if you are a good photographer." Wala kasi sa taho 'yan kundi sa gumagawa ng taho"Hehehe. This is where experience comes. Ok, dont be easily fooled by these endorsers (as so many of them are now giving talks in photo clubs). Most of them did not even have the chance to use both brands. You must ask yourself first what conforms with your needs and budget.
In my opinion and based on my experience with both cameras,
-No.1 canon has a warm tone color bias which is the color of asian people where I live and earn my living. Whereas Nikon is a bit biased in magenta-reddish (whatever) which is good for caucasian subjects.
-No.2 canon is user friendly and fast to shoot. While with Nikon you have to know the control knobs well .
-No.3 Canon Lenses are great and they have also the widest selection. However I find nikon sharper.
-No.4 Though I always shoot with kelvin, Auto WB with canon in case you find it too warm, it is easy to fix with photoshop. With nikon the auto WB is not suitable in all situations and so not constant. Namimili ng lighting situations unless you are using flash and studio lights.
-No.5 There is a canon service center that will attend to your camera and now nikon has also put up its own service center.
-No.6 Maganda ang LCD monitor ng nikon but it's a bit confusing kasi pag download sa computer ay same lang naman with any DSLR. I find nikon's Lcd a bit exaggerated in colors kaya pag nag shoot ang kaibigan mo at pinakita sa 'yo ang play back talagang mapapabilib ka kaso pag-view mo sa computer ang layo na sa kulay...
-No.7 Very affordable ang price ng Nikon compared sa Canon kaya talagang marami ang nikon users. hehehe
Tama na nga at baka marami magalit.My Advice to the photographers reading this is get both cameras and test it yourself.
May mga features na wala sa nikon pero meron ang Canon and vice versa kaya dapat talaga na I-test muna bago makipag-bangayan sa forum.'wag agad-agad maniwala sa mga sabi-sabi. Makakatulong sila pero and bottom line ay kung saan ka masaya ay duon ka. So pano mga tsong. Bato-bato sa langit and tamaan ay mag Leica!!! hehehe
