When talking about lenses, Canon has always been marginally ahead of the game. Both Nikon and Canon offer a wide variety of lenses at all price points. However, Canon's foray into lenses was with premium ultra-expensive lenses, whereas Nikon initially had budget offerings. Nowadays, Nikon lenses tend to be slightly more expensive in their respective segments. Both Nikon and Canon have options for all popular focal lengths. Both brands also make lenses that cater to very specific needs. It's best to be aware of the different types of camera lenses and their usage scenarios to choose what's right for you.
When it comes to innovation, Canon simply doesn't have any match. In the lens category, Canon has always been ahead of any other brand, with Nikon mostly playing catch-up.
Since both brands compete so closely against each other, it is unlikely you will find any major difference between the photographs shot by Nikon or Canon cameras. In fact, the ISO on Nikon's flagship camera, the Nikon D6, can be dialed all the way up to 3,,, resulting in better performance in dark conditions.
All in all, if you're someone who shoots at night, Nikon will offer you better quality images. In any other scenario, both Canon and Nikon stand shoulder to shoulder. Some sensor performance benchmarks do place Nikon higher when it comes to dynamic range. But this is not a fair comparison, since it doesn't result in any noticeable difference in real-world conditions. I lived in Japan from to Prices on Nikon equipment never changed from year to year.
Even after I left Japan, I would go back every year or so, and always collect the latest Nikon price list.. Nikon publish a price list that is available at most camera stores. The prices on some items would not have changed in 10 years in Japan. However, for export, the exchange rate has an enormous effect on prices. USA is paying for that at present.
The Mk II was engineered to be as cheap as possible. Nikon has 7 rounded diaphragm blades, the canon only 5 straight. Gives the N a nicer bokeh at times I gather. A nikon guys with d , nikon 50 f1,8 af-s because of no motor on body and nikon f3,5 - f5,6 VR I'm not able to understand why some people choose nikon over canon or sony in this range of camera People always tell me Nikon is so much more expensive when justifying their decision to go Canon.
I call BS on that every time, where I live anyways. I am in Canada, here is a quick price comparison on lenses that can be directly compared i.
These prices are available every single day of the week to anyone at one of the most reputable stores in Canada, as of April 27, Now, this isn't to say Canon lenses are crap or anything like that. That is absolutely not the case nor my intention. Lots of Canon's lenses are due for an update i. Canon recently updated their big primes to match Nikon's recent updates.
I think Nikon holds the record for the most number of unnecessary entry level f5. There are other lenses where Nikon is more expensive I'm sure, I didn't have time to look at every single lens, I just wanted to pick all the really popular ones I could think of off the top of my head that had direct equivalents. So, at least in Canada, Canon is actually considerably more expensive, sometimes the hundreds, even thousands, of dollars more on many of the most popular lenses.
I didn't bother checking USA prices because they do not concern me, so maybe someone else can comment on how they stack up. As previous posters may have mentioned, it comes down to economies of scale, as a key factor. Canon is a much larger company than Nikon with more resources and money. Canon has a much bigger user base, so that they can afford to produce a higher volume of lenses at a lower cost. Canon does not have to rely on lens sales or camera sales alone to survive, as they sell many, many other products.
Canon has a strategic advantage of "capturing its users", starting from the beginners, by selling at minimum very competent cameras all the way from point and shoot to pro gear. Sony is in almost the same boat as Canon, in some respects. Nikon is much more reliant on their sales of lenses and photographic equipment, especially pro equipment. Don't get me wrong I love Nikon gear and have shot with Nikon for years.
I wish it were cheaper. With a few exceptions like the entry level D60, D , Nikon almost always packs every single camera model they produce with the very best technology or "bang for the buck". Canon at least in my perception seems to "Nickel and Dime" customers by very slowly releasing features and incremental updates each year. Although the 5D Mark II is a good camera, it seems that it was cobbled together at the last minute with an older focusing system.
One possible reason might be that some of Canon's lenses use micro-motors which are less expensive to make , and not true USM focusing with full time manual focus over-ride. Two different build qualities, so two different prices.
One of the posters had a good point. There are always going to be exceptions. Some combination of Canon Systems will be cheaper than Nikon. On the other hand, some Nikon systems could be cheaper and perhaps better quality than Canon's. However, with that being said, I seriously doubt that it will be a night and day difference in price, between the two brands. If I prefer Nikon ergonomics to Canon and I need the something Canon does not produce , then I'll have to decide whether the price difference is worth it BUT that isn't to say that nikon isn't changing.
The camera industry is going through rapid change, both in camera technology and the way people take pictures. The DSLR versus mirrorless camera debate still rages, though most would now agree the DSLR design faces a steady decline and mirrorless is the technology of the future.
DSLRs aren't done yet, though. Canon is winning the full frame market for DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, but is it paying enough attention to beginners? To make it easier to sort through all the cameras on offer, we've split up this guide into simple, easy-to-understand categories.
At least, we hope so! Canon has no competition here. Indeed, the Rebel T is becoming quite hard to find now, and we suspect it's being quietly retired.
The Nikon is typically cheaper and, we think, the better camera. We're not sure how long the D will carry on — we hear conflicting stories about its retirement and continued availability, so it might be one of those cameras to buy while you still can! Canon and Nikon take very different approaches in this sector of the market.
This used to be an easy open goal for Canon, as Nikon had nothing in this area of the market at all When it comes to pioneering lens design, Canon is not just beating Nikon, but arguably every other camera manufacturer out there. However, these RF full frame lenses also very expensive, and while the range of RF glass is slowly being developed, there is not a vast choice — certainly when it comes to affordable options for your new camera.
For both crop-sensor and full-frame DSLRs, the choice of lenses is vast. So far, while there are a few manual focus lenses on the market, there are no third-party lenses for the new Nikon Z mount cameras that feature autofocus.
Canon was slow to catch up with Sony when it came to full-frame mirrorless cameras , but for crop-sensor mirrorless bodies, the EOS M range offers a good choice, even if the lens are options are slightly limited and the ergonomics are no match for DSLRs. Countless professionals around the world trust the brand to give them what they need to continue producing images. This allows it to receive more of the deep infrared rays from distant nebulae.
Nikon might be seen as the lesser of the two titans, but there are a few areas where it puts Canon in the shade. When transitioning to the world of mirrorless cameras, Canon and Nikon took very different approaches when it came to developing its initial line up of lenses.
Canon decided to release premium quality glass from the outset, making super sharp, incredibly fast lenses that came with the requisite price tag. They are definitely not cheap. One aspect where Canon never seems to have quite matched other manufacturers is dynamic range and low-light performance. Many will argue that the difference is negligible but other professionals will insist that the raw files that come out of a Nikon camera are simply more versatile than those produced by Canon.
If you shoot regularly in low light or if you want to maximise the amount of dynamic range that you capture on camera, Nikon might be the better option. This means that Nikon wants to ensure that, as your photographic journey progresses, the route from APS-C to the full-frame camera is a simple one: just replace the body, and you can still use all your lenses without a problem.
Its biggest shortcomings are the measly burst speed of just 4. However, at this price point, the Nikon Z5 still offers a lot for comparatively little money. See also: which Nikon camera do professional photographers use?
This is one seriously impressive point and shoot. However, this is where it starts to get a little more complicated: Canon and Nikon are moving away from DSLRs which have occupied this broad segment for more than a decade.
