Which is better, Nikon or Canon SLR?

1, Usage: Everyone has different preferences for photography, so you should have a positioning for your own use before buying a camera. For example, some like traveling and scenery photography; Some people like portraits and take pictures of their families. With positioning, let's talk about the following characteristics: Canon's tone is warmer, that is, the film will be red; Nikon's tone is cold, and the film will be blue. In other words, Nikon is more beautiful, and people who like to take portraits use Canon.

2, preferences: Canon's imaging soft point, Nikon's imaging sharp point. For example, taking portraits at the same time, Canon's facial skin may look smoother, and Nikon will take out spots and hair, depending on your own preferences. If you don't PS, it is estimated that many MMs can't accept Nikon's face, and what you may need is this sharpness of hair.

3, accessories (referring to SLR users): bought the fuselage without a lens can not be used. Nikon has been an expert in optical products for many years, and the price of lenses is relatively cheap (excluding five new lenses scraped from June 5438 +2007 10); Canon has high-tech product technology, and the L-head is an indispensable weapon for professional photography now, and the price is of course very high.

4. Surrounding environment (referring to SLR users): Now the price of SLR is very low, and ordinary users can afford it. Unless you are a professional photographer, if ordinary consumers mostly borrow some lenses and equipment from each other for fun. Because some of Nikon's equipment is not compatible with Canon's, it is sometimes convenient to consider what machines friends borrow from each other. However, there is a saying in the industry for super enthusiasts and professional users (wives and equipment are not allowed to borrow).

5. Cost performance: Nikon and Canon are both old brands of digital SLR, and the current market price is very transparent. It makes sense that you get what you get at a price. According to the individual's economic ability, do what you can, and believe that market time is a test of quality. Just like a digital SLR put into the market, after a period of market test, some will drop, some will be very * *, and it can also prove some truth.

Which is better? Love is blind. Only what suits you is good (don't listen to people). Friends who choose the machine can choose from the above points. As for which is better, Nikon or Canon, people all over the world have discussed it for decades, but there is still no result. There is no result now, and I hope there will be no result in the future. The two major manufacturers are confronting each other, benefiting our consumers. Quote a classic saying between photographers:? If Canon and Nikon don't know how to choose, flip a coin! Whichever you buy, you will like it! ?

In fact, Nikon and Canon are both very good brands. It should be said that Nikon's main products are concentrated in the field of SLR, while Canon is omnipotent and has strong competitiveness in both home and SLR. In the field of SLR, it should be said that Nikon and Canon have their own characteristics as a whole, but Pk Canon has obvious technical advantages between the same machine emperors. Canon has its own entire industrial chain and intellectual property rights, while Nikon cannot fully grasp all industrial chains. Classified, Canon is the best image processor, and digi 3 processor has no rival at present. The new 1ds mark iii sensor has now reached the full size of 2000w pixels, and the lenses have different lengths, and the basic process is close.

Generally speaking, it is generally believed that the top SLR is better than Canon. Mid-range products have their own advantages, and Nikon is more cost-effective. The low end is similar. Generally speaking, the choice of SLR should be made between the two. There is no third option. You should choose the best Canon, otherwise Nikon is also a good choice. However, it is difficult for SLR to enter the second one, because the lens determines the high cost of changing doors. Be careful.

As far as home computers are concerned, I think Nikon Canon is good, but Nikon doesn't seem to attach much importance to home computers and has fewer series. Most people like to choose Sony, but knowledgeable people generally don't choose Sony, because Fuji's super ccd has the best CCD quality, and the shooting quality and corresponding speed largely depend on the processing chip and related software. From the image processor alone, Canon's digic ii/iii image processor has no rival in the same level at present. Nikon and Canon pay more attention to image quality, after all, there is high-end SLR technology. Therefore, you should choose Canon, Nikon and Fuji as your home computers.

General digital cameras, Nikon and Canon have their own advantages and disadvantages, mainly depending on the recognition of appearance and price. For the elderly, it is recommended to use Nikon, because individuals also use Nikon products, which feels good. Recommended: Nikon s500 has two functions: optical lens displacement damping and face priority autofocus. Both of them are intelligent and practical functions, aiming at solving the problem that ordinary photographers often make mistakes, which is very suitable for the elderly. The price should also be within your requirements.

For entry-level digital SLR cameras: Personally, I think Nikon is better for the following reasons:

1, Nikon looks more professional and feels more comfortable in hand, while Canon's entry-level products are relatively weak.

2. Nikon is better in the quality of supporting lenses.

3. The operability of the camera. Nikon's design idea is to use the buttons of the camera to adjust a parameter of the camera as much as possible, so there are more buttons on the camera. The advantages of this design are quick and convenient photography and high efficiency. Canon, on the other hand, is a key compound design, and a key often has to manage several functions, so the efficiency of use is often affected.

4, the durability of the camera, the service life of Nikon, especially the service life of the shutter is obviously better. In the era of traditional film cameras, you don't have to consider the service life of the camera shutter. After all, film is expensive, but the digital age is different. Because the use cost is not considered, the number of photos taken by digital cameras has increased. In the past, the shutter life of the camera was 10 times, which was a very ok parameter. For digital cameras,

5. In terms of individual camera parameters, the maximum resolution of photos taken by Nikon SLR digital camera is 300dpi, while that of Canon low-end digital camera is 240dpi. Although there is not much difference between computers and ordinary photos, it is impossible to use large-size inkjet and photos. This reason may have little impact on ordinary users, but if users have the above needs, this is a problem that must be considered.

High-end digital SLR cameras, models of more than 10 thousand yuan, Nikon and Canon are not too different. In addition, the lens is the same. After all, you are using a digital SLR camera body of more than 10,000 yuan, and the matching lens should not be bad. Generally speaking, it is also a lens of 10 thousand yuan.

Canon lens or Nikon lens is better, which has been debated for more than ten years. I remember that more than ten years ago, some movie friends often fought over this topic on the way to participate in activities. At that time, people who used Nikon lenses often got the upper hand, because at that time, everyone played mostly black and white photography, and the printing technology was backward. At the same time, there are not as many Canon cameras as there are today. Also influenced by these factors, I chose Nikon camera. Later, in order to compete, with the help of Beijing Daily, Canon began to provide free use of Canon cameras for film photographers. At the same time, the electronic system of Canon camera also provides great convenience for photographers. Ye Yongcai, director of the photography department of Beijing Daily (now Beijing Photographers Association * *), uses a Canon camera.

According to my observation, there are some differences between Canon lens and Nikon lens, but it is not as simple as some friends say that Canon is soft and Nikon is sharp. Canon lens has rich layers and delicate highlights, but it is not as beautiful as Nikon lens in color and has high color saturation, so it is easy to distinguish among a bunch of photos. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the varieties of paper are more abundant than in the past, and the advantages of Canon lens are becoming more and more prominent.

Everyone says Nikon lens is suitable for black and white photography. I once took a roll of black and white photography with a Canon camera, using Russian carbon paper. The enlarged photo surprised me, and the layering was rich and natural, which was very nice.

In a film competition, I also showed my timidity once, mistaking the photos taken by Canon for Nikon lenses, and then asked the author what lens to use. A: Canon L head. It can be seen that Canon's advanced lens is not worse than Nikon's lens, and even surpasses it.

So how do we choose between Canon and Nikon? My opinion is that if you have enough money, I suggest you go directly to Canon, buy L lens directly, and go directly to 2.8 constant aperture. If you don't have much money and don't plan to specialize in portrait photography, then I suggest you buy Nikon lenses to take pictures of folk customs and scenery.

The early brand of Canon camera was Guanyin. He and Minolta used German lenses in the early days, and later produced their own optical lenses, so they knew more about technology and style and inherited more from Germany. Nikon, on the other hand, started with optics, with a lens first and then a fuselage. The fuselage inherited many styles of early German mechanical cameras.

Next, I will continue to talk about their development process and the subtlety of the lens style.

I don't know who used the Locar lens of early Minolta. That's a unique style. Instead of what some Minoltans subjectively claim? Beautiful head shape? They may not know that Minolta has not developed its own lens for a long time. Most of its lenses are commissioned or simply OEM. So there is no early lens charm and own style;

Canon started as a precision machine and always thought that the lens was its weakness, which is also the key to preventing itself from becoming a big name in the field of professional photography. So I am willing to spend money on lens development. In 1950s and 1960s, it first developed a standard lens with an aperture of 0.95. In the 1970s, its 1.2 aperture head was still the industry leader. More and more unique technical patents have been accumulated in glass melting, material technology and optical properties, and its optical lens product series has gradually caught up with Olympus and Pantech, which used to be the first optical products and have been ahead of him. In the tide of mechatronics from the end of 1960s to the end of 1970s, Canon seized the opportunity and became the most successful trend leader. Its brand surpassed German products, tied with Nikon for the first lineup of Nissan camera sales, and Pan, Mei, Ao, Kang and Li became the second lineup. In the fierce competition, a number of famous machines such as Petroli and successors faded out.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the lenses of some Japanese manufacturers were directly matched with those of Germany, and the advantages of Nikon lenses came into being in the 1950s. Its camera imaging quality is good, especially the clarity and contrast. In the era of black and white film, such photos are suitable for plate making and printing, and the price is relatively cheap, and the optical lens has developed into a series, so it is very popular among photographers.

Nikon only produces lighting equipment, cameras, microscopes and so on. Cameras have been produced for a long time. In the period of traditional camera, it is undoubtedly the leader in the field of 135mm camera. It produces and sells a large number of cameras and lenses, and it has a lot of support.

However, after entering the digital age, because a large number of Nikon lenses are still in use, and the core technology of digital cameras was not paid enough attention in the early stage, Nikon's production and sales fell behind Canon's, and it was unable to redesign new standards more suitable for the digital age. In particular, the digital development of consumer computers is not enough, not only lagging behind Canon, but also behind non-professional optical manufacturers like Sony.

But Nikon still has its own characteristics and style, and its position is still irreplaceable. Nikon is still the choice of many photographers and photographers.

Canon not only produces optical equipment (including cameras), but also produces office equipment such as printers and copiers. Although one of the traditional cameras lags behind Nikon, after entering the digital age, Canon started early, redesigned new standards such as bayonet and vigorously developed digital technology, which laid a solid foundation for surpassing Nikon today.

Canon fully grasps the three core technologies of modern digital camera, such as lens, image processing system and photosensitive element. So that its development is not controlled by others, but completely in its own hands.

Today, Canon ranks first in the world in the field of consumer digital cameras and also ranks first in the field of professional cameras, with the richest product line, complete accessories, especially lenses, and reasonable and accurate market positioning. Became the undisputed leader in this field today. Especially in the field of news and sports photography, which is almost the largest market, Canon occupies an absolute dominant position.

The simple summary is: Nikon lens is sharper and the scenery is better. Canon color has advantages and is more suitable for taking portraits. Now the problems are all digital, and it's basically no difference to know them later. ....

Nikon camera is characterized by sharp images, so it is a bit stiff and suitable for taking landscape photos. Canon's images are relatively softer and have better color reproduction ability, so it is the first choice for people to take pictures.
