Compared with Nikon D80 and Canon 450D, who is more suitable for portrait shooting?

As an upgraded version of the 400D, the 450D is not much different from the 400D in essence, and it is an entry-level model of Canon. And D80 is defined between entry-level and mid-range.

The portraits taken by Canon are generally soft and colorful. Close-range film has a sense of layering and performs well in the case of large aperture and out of focus. You can see that most studios now use Canon machines. Nikon's beat has a high degree of reproduction and a better sense of reality, and naturally performs well for large scenes. And often after turning down the aperture, painting can't stop. Suitable for documentary themes. Of course, the portraits are more realistic.

As for which one to choose, or what style you like, it's up to you. The latest 450D or the most classic D80? In fact, for beginners, I personally think they are all good choices, and D80 is relatively more persistent in the later period.
