Canon vs Nikon:Which is Better ???

WHICH DSLR IS BETTER? CANON OR NIKON?

There are many differences between Canon and Nikon.  Some of the differences are significant, but almost all are trivial.  Having the opportunity to shoot both brands on a regular basis, here are the major differences that I have found between Canon and Nikon cameras.

Benefits of Nikon DSLR Cameras

• Nikon cameras almost always have more focus points.  This is a major advantage because it enables you to follow the rule of thirds where Canon cameras often don’t have focus points near the third lines–forcing the photographer to focus and recompose.
• Nikon cameras are often slightly less expensive than comparable Canon cameras.
• Slightly larger sensors.  Nikon uses a crop sensor that is slightly larger than the comparable Canons.  Obviously this isn’t true for full frame cameras, which are identical in size between the brands.
• Built-in features.  Nikon is often more willing to include features such as timelapse and bracketing into its cameras.

Benefits of Canon DSLR Cameras

• Better color and contrast in RAW files.  Many photographers think that RAW files come straight off the sensor without processing, but that is not technically true.  Canon RAW photos look more polished when you first look at them on the computer, but please don’t misunderstand me.  I’m not saying Nikon photos look any less colorful or contrasty when finished. I’m only saying they look more polished straight out of the camera when shooting in RAW.  If you shoot in JPEG, you’ll notice a difference in the color styles, but the final photo will look just as good from one camera as the other.
• More user-friendly UI.  The user interface and menu system on Canon cameras has always seemed more intuitive to me than the Nikon system.  However, Nikon is working to improve on this front with new GUI features on the D5200.
• Focus motor.  There are very few lenses on the market that require the camera to have its own focus motor.  Usually the focus motor is found in the lens.  However, the popular Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lens requires a focus motor and some of the entry-level Nikon DSLRs don’t have a focus motor.  This means that newer photographers are forced to spend an extra $120 for the 50mm f/1.8G lens to get a focus motor.  This is a very minor difference, but since most new photographers will eventually buy this lens, it is something to be aware of.  Advantage Canon
