each brand has its own pros and cons.

i dun see a point in discussing who is good or not. which brand is superior than the other.

best point will be both cameras are tools, and it depends on how u make the best out of your equipment.

such a thread about comparing nikon and canon will end up to be more a debate and cause the forum communities to be split into nikon camps and canon camps.

do a search and u will see that many has done the same before you and they have made their decision. most of them are happy while some are not happy or not even contented.

if you have money to burn. get both.

He needs a Leica.

Remember... If you don't own a Leica, you're not a photographer...

[sportspoon]

err.. ok. all these are like. not reall constructive except for the point of the forum splitting into 2 which also contridicts the rest of the posts.

ANYWAYS.

thank you all for responding.

[Zaknafein]

why dun u do a search in this forum?
u get tons of threads with similar question + get ur answers faster

[gomobile]

actually for these two, just go with your feeling lo, pick them up and see which one you like better.

[yokechye]

u asking about choosing a canon or nikon is a very subjective question ma... so the only thing is u hv to go try it out urself and see which one u prefer loh... dun neccessary only canon n nikon.. still got other brands u can try ma.... which one u feels good get which one lo.... they all works the same way anyway...

[babykailan]

this type of question really no right or wrong answers. most people only own one brand, the views can be lopsided. there are the fortunate few who use both brands. maybe they can help you out.

the best is to do your own research and see which features you like best or pertain more to your kind of photography. visit a good shop, try the build and handling. read reviews. make your own informed decision.

if you search this forum, you will gather a lot of info and comparisons between these 2 brands. either one will provide adequate tools for you to embark on your photography journey!

depends on your shooting preferences;
1. smaller size/weight - Canon 350D
2. better build quality - Nikon D70s
3. less high iso noise - Canon 350D
4. better handling - Nikon D70s
5. more megapixels - Canon 350D (8mp vs 6mp for Nikon D70s)
6. better kit lens - Nikon D70s
7. better fast telephoto "L" prime lenses - Canon
8. better all-in-one superzoom VR lens - Nikon

hope this helps.

[ortega]

best is to got with your gut feeling
try the cameras out yourself and go with the one that
you feel comfortable with

as they are both good cameras

add to zaren's list
9. better flash system - Nikon
10. higher magnification macro lens - canon

[glennyong]

better ISO control = Canon
faster AF = Canon
body bulit = Nikon
WA lens quality = Nikon
price = Nikon / Canon

[ortega]

if you like WA go for nikon
if you like longer teles (above 400mm and above) go for canon

What about your friends, your kakis, your cousins etc. Go join them so that you can borrow/test/lease their gear.

U go get Nikon better. Coz if everyone buy Canon, then Canon will have monopoly, then price will go up and not good for me.
