Then you may get a few serious replies with advice. Otherwise, there is only personal preference...for everyone else but you. </p> <p>What do you want to do the most with your camera?</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angus1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 <p>The ONE consideration for potential advantage of canon over nikon is the image stabilized canon supertelephoto lenses are substantially less costly-- like, $2,000 less for a Canon 500mm-- than the nikon. Apart from that, no "diff" to me.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a._j._jacobs Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 <p>Whichever one feels best to you. It's a personal choice, we can't decide it for you. Look at all the specs, and see which ones match what you want.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_asprey2 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 <p>Yeah....lots of bait taken. A bit more from me, as I struggled with this issue too.<br> I also have a confession...I am taking delivery of a 6 mth old, as new, D300 today. My first digital SLR. I bought this one for AU$1600 on eBay. That's US$1000, after exchange rate adj. A bargain. A new D90 is AU$1400. I have used a friends D300 and its an absolute jewel...magnesium body coated with grippy soft rubber and weather proof. It really is a mini D3.<br> With an open mind I looked at the 50D and the 5D2. I did not get that fit-like-a glove, really well made feeling. It would have cost me another AU$4k in lenses as well. Nah! In the end I seriously considered a D700, but they are still AU$4200 here. I also have lots of fast manual and AF Nikon glass which I have carefully collected over the years (since 1978) and have used them all on my F4s, FM2 and FE2. All fully backwards and forwards compatible. I can use them all on the D300. When I can afford it I will trade up to the D700 and then I'm set. I cannot see me needing any more resoltion than that. I do mostly street and landscape, and rarely print bigger than A4, so outright pixel density and even fast auto focus are not critical, but a big, bright, 100% viewfinder is.<br> I am always tempted by Canon. I have bought them in the past. But this is why I stick to Nikon: To my mind, preservation of investment, beauty of design, and quality of construction a paramount. My manual Nikons (above) are masterpieces and you get the same feeling from holding an "instrument" as you get from holding a Leica, Hasselblad or Rollei. Its a very personal thing.<br> My sons girlfriend works at our big daily newspaper. They have been using 1D's since going digital. They changed their staff cameras to Nikon when the D3 came out. She said all the older photogs seemed to be very happy and the newer ones did not understand why. One of the older ones took a new guy into the gear room and there were hundreds of Nikkor lenses there. He said he could now use all this great gear again. Another thing...the photogs would literally wear out a 1D in six months...all battered and scratched. He showed him the D3's...all about 18 months old. Most were still like new. That comes from respect for the tool you use.<br> In terms of image quality, there is nothing between Canon and Nikon. So it boils down to subjective issues. My advice to Aivar is this: Work out what body you can afford in both Canon and Nikon. Then go to a big store and ask to feel both in your hands. See which suits you and feels right. Then make your decision, buy two good lenses and be content. Then let every one else continue the arguing.<br> Steve</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noli_tan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 <p>I'm a canon user for 10+ years and after i shot a few times with the Nikon and held a D700, I'm definitely going with Nikon.<br> The body of the D700 is such a nice thing to hold.<br> To each his own.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen_selvaraj Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 <p>I was in a store today to check out Canon 40D and Nikon D90. While shooting the same subject, I found Nikon D90 picture on the LCD to be better probably because of the superior LCD screen, thoughts?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf_rainer_schmalfuss Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 <p><strong>LEICA S2</strong> , when ever available, is as big as either the Canon or Nikon, has a bigger sensor, and will cost big money!</p> <p>Cheers</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_hickey1 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 <p>I feel what Noli Tan is saying. I have been with canon for 5 years now and just shot with a Nikon D700 and 85 1.8. It is making me SERIOUSLY reconcider which system I want to continue usings. Once i play with the 5d MKII that will be the deciding factor.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
