DSLRs from a pro photographer's perspective

Posted by photog_love on 02-05-2008 in Photographers sound off: Canon vs. Nikon

For film: Nikon
But film is dead.

For digital SLRs, Canon is unquestionably the best manufacturer. They are constantly improving the ease of use and scope of their products. They are the company that is pushing the rest of the market to evolve. Look at the new EOS 1D Mark III and the 40D. 3-inch screens.... 21.1 freakin megapixels...I mean come on...

And as a professional photographer who has used both platforms, I can state definitively that Canon is more intuitively designed. The placement of Nikon's buttons/features is often awkward. Also the structure of the menus is way too complex for ease of use.

Canon also pwns Nikon when it comes to clean interpolation of pixels. No doubt about it.
