Nikon Cameras vs. Canon SLR Cameras


These two companies are the leading competitors in cameras. If you’re looking to get serious with photography, these are your best options. But which one is better? Let’s take a look.
In terms of functionality and features, Canon SLR cameras and Nikon cameras are about the same. To really isolate the differences between these two cameras, we can begin by examining lenses. Nikon’s lenses are not backwards compatible with older Nikon cameras while Canon’s are.

As a result, autofocus will not work if you use a different lens on Nikon cameras, which can be a pain. So here, your choice comes down to how you plan to use your camera in the future, whether it be upgrading eventually, or just expanding your collection of lenses as you move further into photography. If you will eventually buy a new camera and a new lens, it doesn’t matter which one you choose. However, if you want to keep your lenses and the ability to autofocus, Canon slr cameras are more compatible with older and third party lenses.

On the other hand, Nikon has done a lot of work to ensure that when you take a picture with a flash you get the results you want. Their “Creative Lighting System” is featured on more professional styles and is worth noting if you want to get serious about your photography.

Ultimately, these competitors are reliable and have been in the camera business for years. A lot of people boil their choice down to brand loyalty. But if you’re just buying your first camera, it’s important to do your research before you choose a side.
