What's the difference between Nikon and Canon SLR cameras?

Nikon and Canon SLR cameras, Nikon is slightly cheaper than Canon, Canon is good at portraits, and Nikon is good at landscapes. The following is a detailed analysis of the differences between them in imaging style, control and menu setting, body motor, focusing mode of video shooting, metering and focusing.

1, different imaging styles

Canon's imaging style is soft, Nikon's is hard, so "Canon portrait, Nikon scenery" still has some truth. Canon portrait is more attractive than skin color, but this is only the optimization of JPG image. However, the image exported according to Canon's CR2 format (RAW format) still has the same portrait style.

Canon's imaging style is really different. It is more pleasing in the delicate skin and color of portraits, but Nikon's sharpness of scenery is indeed better.

2, the difference between controls and menu settings

Canon and Nikon are very different in control and menu settings. It's hard to say which is better to control. As long as you are skilled, you can control the machine conveniently. Canon seems to be more organized in menu settings.

3, the difference between the fuselage motor

Nikon's machine has a body motor regardless of the middle and high-end machines, and it can still achieve autofocus when using some old-fashioned manual lenses, while Canon's machine has no body motor and relies entirely on the lens to drive autofocus.

4. Different focusing methods in video shooting.

Users generally report that Canon cameras benefit from the "all-pixel dual-core CMOS AF" with strong focus tracking ability when shooting video, and Canon has obvious advantages in shooting video.

5, the difference between metering and focusing

Judging from the metering modes of the two companies, they are similar, and there is little difference in focus control. The essential difference lies in four words: measuring point linkage. Both Canon and Nikon can focus and condense light. The key difference is that Canon's metering point cannot move in the center when setting the spotlight focus and spotlight, while Nikon's metering point can move on the viewfinder with the focus (the metering point and focus are the same point).
