The takeaway was that the D was a little better for low light conditions while the T7i was a better option for high action shots thanks to a faster burst rate. Since then, Canon has released a new version, the T8i and the results are…pretty much the same.
The upgrades made from the T7i to T8i are largely incremental, with no remarkable improvements. Bottom line is that both cameras are good options for entry-level DSLRs, with the capability of getting good pictures, especially if paired with nice lenses, but that neither really stands out from the other in terms of being a clear winner.
This year we needed to mix it up a little bit. The conclusion before was that, while the Canons were the better choices if you wanted to shoot video, the D was clearly better for still photography. So how does the 90D compare now? The 90D brings a number of noticeable improvements over the previously-discussed models.
Resolution has been significantly improved, up to With the current matchup, the question changes from still or video to low light or not. If you often shoot in challenging lighting, the Nikon is still probably the better choice, but the other improvements of the 90D make it extremely compelling. For a more hands-on approach, many photographers and videographers opt to rent a DSLR before buying to help make the right choice.
On paper, the 6D Mark II is not an exciting camera. It has good specs across the board, but nothing that jumps out as being truly extraordinary. It has a higher resolution than the D, but both are going to be enough for most people. It has a decent — but not great — frames per second shooting speed. Generally speaking, full frame sensors offer a host of benefits over APS-C, such as improved low light performance and image quality.
With both of these models being targeted towards professionals, they are both extremely capable cameras. The D also offers significantly higher resolution The 5D Mark IV is somewhat smaller and lighter, which can make it more comfortable to use in a variety of situations. Both Canon and Nikon have introduced new flagship cameras this year, but like years past the reality is the choice between flagships typically comes down to factors aside from the actual camera.
Both have extensive weather proofing, robust build quality, extremely durable shutters, and fast shooting. Both cameras have native ISOs of ,, but Nikon offers boosted ISO all the way to 3,,, giving it the edge in extremely dark conditions. Nikon offers some video capabilities, but if you really wanted to shoot video with a flagship, Canon is a far better option with resolutions up to 5. There is no clear-cut winner in the debate between Canon and Nikon. Both have their strengths, and both have their weaknesses.
I agree with just take pictures, which yes I do regularly, but I want to go further just because why the hell not. What would you both recommend for a quasi new beginner? I primarily take night shots and scenery, but am wanting to do night portraits. I would love for someone to just say… buy this one! Everyone please wake up! Canon has an entire line of APS-C mirrorless cameras while Nikon only has two full-frame models and a single crop sensor.
Can you tell which of the above images were shot on a Nikon, and which were taken with a Canon? Professional photographers have been shooting both brands for decades and producing great results from each.
Some photographers may prefer the straight-from-the-camera colors from one brand over the other, but there is little that truly separates them, especially once those photos have been edited. Nikons tend to rate higher for dynamic range, for example.
What matters more is the effort you put in to creating a good photograph. A few years ago, Canon was well out in front when it came to video. Now, that lead has disappeared — and in the case of mirrorless, Nikon has clearly sprinted to the front. Both Canons and Nikons will shoot some good video, but as Nikon has no competing cinema camera line, it is free to incorporate higher-end video features into its still cameras.
The Nikons have higher-quality video output over HDMI, as well, great for pros who want to record video using an external recorder. Holding a Canon feels different than holding a Nikon, and ergonomics are a surprisingly important part of the photography equation. Again, this is something that comes down to personal preference. The grips each have their own distinct designs, and the placement of the command dials and buttons is quite different.
The mode dials also look a little different. With Canon, all the EOS lenses have autofocus. Meanwhile, only Nikon AF-S lenses have autofocus. The only caveat is that you have to focus them manually. Nikon decided to remove the autofocus motor from their entry-level DSLRs to keep their cameras smaller. In contrast, Canon has always had the autofocus motors in the lenses, not the bodies. That means you get to use older lenses with most camera bodies.
If you prefer modern lenses with the latest technology, then consider Canon. There are more third-party vintage lenses available for Canon, which you can attach to the camera body with adapters. This is not true for Canon. When it comes to the mirrorless department, Nikon produced fewer lenses. Still, they are lighter and smaller. Both brands recently started producing lenses meant to go on mirrorless bodies. This puts them in competition with Sony , leading the market with the Alpha series for years.
The term crop factor describes the magnification any particular lens produces when you use it on a crop-sensor camera. This number differs between the two camera brands. A larger sensor often means better resolution. The 0. If you are a sports photographer, you can quickly turn a mm telephoto lens into a mm with a Nikon and a mm with a Canon body.
One of the most crucial factors in the Canon vs. Nikon debate is usability. It is all about what feels right to you. When most photographers choose their brand, they often do not switch. After all, it is not easy getting rid of your equipment after spending so much on it. Think hard about your preferences before investing. In this section, we collect cameras for different photography levels and purposes from both Canon and Nikon. The D , D , and the recently released D are great examples of what beginner photographers are looking for.
For example, a 18mm lens would give you a very wide view of the scene, taking in more than the human eye does. A 35mm lens is about middle ground, and is pretty close to what you naturally see with your eyes. A mm lens will provide a zoomed-in image, and so on. This is where it's important to remember the crop factor if you're using a crop-sensor camera. Nikon lenses have a 1. So if you put a 35mm lens on a Nikon crop sensor body, it will be the equivalent of using a If you put the same lens on a Canon crop sensor body, you'll have the equivalent of using a 56mm lens.
This is the case whether or not you're using a lens specifically made for a crop sensor camera. Thanks to Wirecutter for some of the beginner lens recommendations. Depending on what type of lenses you'd like to start with, the price difference between Nikon and Canon for certain models like the 35mm could help you make your decision. As you've probably noticed by now, Nikon and Canon are almost always on the same page.
This is a case where there isn't a clear winner — what you choose is based on preference, and can really only be decided on a case-by-case basis. Do you just want a 35mm lens and a cheap crop-sensor camera for street photography?
Nikon might be for you in that case, as its 35mm lens is cheaper than Canon's version, and is an excellent lens all around. Maybe a certain camera body from Canon has the features you want, and it's on sale for cheaper than the Nikon equivalent. In that case, Canon would probably be the better choice. Or, perhaps you have some old lenses lying around or available to you. If you still want to make use of them, that could influence your decision as well. Keep an eye out for sales and head into a camera store to try them out for yourself.
Ask your photographer friends what they prefer, and why. But you can't really make a wrong choice here — no matter which company you choose, you're going to get a powerful, modern, digital camera. In the end, have fun with it and try not to have too much buyer's remorse. Make the right choice for yourself, and you'll be set. For you.
