dslr: canon vs. nikon?

[markyap]

---

daghan bya gyapon guba or tech problems even sa film camara, but the thing is, daghan man maayo technician na maka repair sa downtown ug slr any brand. it doesnt have to be an authorized center para ka maka pa ayo.

karon ang mga dslr requires specialized equipment that only authorized centers have and its too expensive for none authorized centers to aquire and needs special training to use them.

any equipment ma guba man gyud na... after sales man importante. But speaking of nikon vs. canon murag nindot man gyud Canon para nako... sa mga professional sports mga white lens man imo ma kita.. meaning mga Canon ila gamit. di lang ka afford ug canon ang uban mao na ni nikon.. mas mahal man tingali ang canon compare sa nikon.

[agoroy]

well ..bisan asa imong kuhaon ..mahal jud na sila bai
wa jud barato aning butanga

Canon dali ra maguba mao tingali na daghan sila service centers dire . Nikons are more robust even ilang entry level na D70 is much more rugged compared to the 300D (I dunno about the D50 if this is still true). In the Pro level DSLR's Nikon has a much more user friendly interface than Canon's. This could be attributed to the film based EOS1V body of the Canon DSLR unlike Nikons which were built for digital from the start except for the D1series which was based on the F5. In terms of digital sensors, I would say Canon is better with their 8mp and 16mp in terms of resolutions. Nikon is lagging behind in this area with their 6 and 12mp sensors karon. It is true that Canons are more expensive. Buy a cheap Canon lens and you get cheap quality. Buy a cheap Nikon lens and you get a way much better quality lens than a Canon one (the kit lens of 300D comes to mind). That is why every Canon user out there lust for a Canon pro L lens...mmm sweet lens. Image wise in the sensor, both systems are about the same except for bigger file size due to sensor resolution (which by the way isnt everything). Upgrading to a DSLR? If your a tyro newbie get a Canon, if your an old school film nut with Nikon system go with Nikon. If the image matters tha camera matters? nope sorry Nikon ..the camera is only a tool, its the monkey reading this post that matters and not what brand you use. Check out some post from photogs with simple point and shoot digi cams here in Istorya ,IMHO they capture better pics than some of the the 'rich' kids with DSLRs.

Cheers!

geeeee......it's like comparing APPLES and ORANGES

Nikon and Canon are bought good, excellent makes.


I have a friend who works for NIKON TECHNOLOGY in USA, guess what. I asked him which is better and which one he'd love to use. Apparently, he insists that since the late `90s, Canon has outranked Nikon up until now. In fact, he works for Nikon but uses Canon Bodies. How ironic

Even my friend photographers (I am referring to those OLD GUYS who really have aged in photog) they love Canon.

nikon users can think this way if this makes them feel better.
but us canon users are more than happy to see a true presence and support from our manufature here and now kudos to CANON PHIL.

Nikons are more robust even ilang entry level na D70 is much more rugged compared to the 300D (I dunno about the D50 if this is still true).

more robust? what makes u say that?
i havent seen or heard of any 300D with major problems? i've sold over a dozen personaly to friends, not a single one reported problems. the fact that is the best selling DSLR of all time must mean something. oh yeah and the entry level for canon today is the 350D already. performance and capability di gyud ka lupig ang D70. however i have nothin against the D70 its also a performer

In the Pro level DSLR's Nikon has a much more user friendly interface than Canon's.

this is subjective. sa asa lang ka maanad. 1st time i saw the 1D markII i didnt consider it coz the controls looked complicated compated to the 10D. it was new to me. but canon philippines left me a 1Ds MarkII(same control layout as the 1D markII), studid the controls and features for an hour. next morning used it on a major shoot without any problems with the controls.
hehe makes u think, something like this could never happen if i was using nikon. im talking about nikon lending me their most expensive dslr to shoot something for 2 days free of charge because i had issues with my D70?

In terms of digital sensors, I would say Canon is better with their 8mp and 16mp in terms of resolutions. Nikon is lagging behind in this area with their 6 and 12mp sensors karon. It is true that Canons are more expensive.

this is a fact na gyud

Buy a cheap Canon lens and you get cheap quality. Buy a cheap Nikon lens and you get a way much better quality lens than a Canon one (the kit lens of 300D comes to mind).

50mm 1.8 prime is dirt cheap but super fine! very sharp!
the kit lens ng 300D is actually better than many more expensive lens out there! can you compare any comparable 4-5k zoom lens for dslr ng nikon thats truly and clearly much better quality lens than the 18-55 efs?

That is why every Canon user out there lust for a Canon pro L lens...mmm sweet lens.

nothing wrong with wanting something better, more superior. extend the bounderies. extend the limitation of what you can do. im all for that!

Image wise in the sensor, both systems are about the same except for bigger file size due to sensor resolution (which by the way isnt everything).

Canons imaging sensor and chip is generations more advanced than other manufactures.

this is something we can definetly agree on

lets all keep an open mind shall we?
Peace!

It's not the camera... It's the hands of the photographer!

@markyap

Take it easy bro. It's just my opinion, I use both systems you know. Both are excellent tools in capturing images. Photography isn't about the equipment as I have stated above. Lets all have fun and enjoy the passion of taking photographs.

Keep on shooting!
