Which is better, Nikon D71 or Canon 65D?

if other factors are not considered, Nikon D71 wins completely.

this is an asymmetric war. Nikon D71 is a mid-range model, and 65D is an entry-level model of Canon.

in addition to Nikon's advantages in the configuration of middle and low-end models, and the delay in the launch of D71 for eight months (eight months for electronic products is equivalent to the gap of half a generation), there is no choice unless the price factor is considered or the weight of 2 grams is stressed.

the 24 million pixels of Nikon D71 overwhelm the 18 million pixels of Canon 65D;

the resolution of Nikon D71 is 6×4, which is greater than that of Canon 65D's 5184×3456.

Nikon D71' s 15-point cross focus is higher than Canon 65D's 9-point cross focus;

the 1.23 million pixel LCD screen of Nikon D71 is higher than that of Canon 65D.

the continuous shooting of Nikon D71 is 7 frames per second, which is stronger than that of Canon 65D.

regardless of the price and other factors, in the face of these advantages, except for staunch Canon fans, they will choose Nikon D71.
