Which camera would be better?

Which is the better camera...Cannon or Nikon?

  • I'm trying to save for my first SLR camera but have no idea which one to buy. When I do buy one it will be either a Cannon or Nikon. However I'm not sure which camera would fit my needs better. I need a camera that will shoot excellent macro shots (true macro if possible) with a shallow depth of field and great / amazing clarity. These things are a must as I shoot mostly close-up or macro flower shots. If possible I would also love the camera to be able to take beautiful landscape shots. Right now I'm working on a Fuji FinePix S4500 and the clarity and shallow depth of field on this camera is lacking something terrible. Not sure if it's just cause it's new and I'm not acquainted with everything it can do. Anyway if someone could give some advice as to which camera ... Cannon or Nikon would be better suited for my needs I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

  • Answer:

    The specifications that you list are related to lenses, not cameras. You could conceivably get a good camera and still be unhappy because you bought it with a cheap lens. Either a Canon (one 'n') or Nikon will suit your needs. But you shouldn't discount others like Sony, Pentax, or Olympus. The differences in quality between good cameras are not easy to see for the inexperienced eye. One other thing, if the underlying cause of your unhappiness with your Fuji is technique, getting a better camera is not going to significantly add to the quality of your pictures. You'd have to improve your technique in order to reach that goal.

It has to be Nikon, since there is NO cannon camera. Cannons shoot cannon balls. In reality, ANY dSLR can shoot amazing images. It is up to the photographer to assure that their shots are clear and have the depth of field required. Look at the Nikon D3200 or Canon T3/1100D. Visit a proper camera store to see which you like the best

since you obviously intend to get an entry level camera, you aren't going to be able to tell the difference... you can look at Canon or Nikon... or you could try Sony or Pentax or Olympus...

Nikon. I use Nikon, and it's a lot better than my Canon camera.

It's not the camera. It's not the camera. It's not the camera. It's not the camera. It's not the camera. It's not the camera.
