Well im debating on weather i should settle for a nikon or a canon digital slr camera. Both have great quality pictures. Id be using them for self portraits, outside photography and using them with models but im not sure which one.

I was hoping some of you could show me comparisons tell me about the flaws and faults of both camera and in your opnion which one i should choose.

For SLRs, most of the people I know have bought Nikon. My sister has a Canon, though, and it works very well. I'm not a photography-fanatic, so I'm not sure what to tell you. I'm sure if you don't plan on using them for, like, very serious stuff (haha), then either should be fine.

If you know Arjuna, I would suggest you msg. him b/c he's friendly AND he knows a lot about photography.

I personally prefer Canon only b/c I have had 3 of their digital cameras already.

When I used to work for Office Depot, Nikon and Canon were our best sellers. In my preference, I find Nikon to be more professional, it has many options and great picture quality. With Canon I realized that it can never be the best of both worlds. If you want a lot of options the picture quality isn't as good, if you want great picture quality, the options are limited. It's good but not as good as what Nikon can produce as far as options and quality.

Both really good companies, but I'm going with Nikon.

Canon has a lot of cameras that are newb friendly, like me. And from what I've heard from Juna, Nikon has some top of the line professional cameras.

Okay thanks for the advice i was thinking about getting a nikon more than a canon but i wasnt too sure

I have a Nikon, but Canons are a lot better.

I have olympus. Go olympus! Lol I kid, all that the olympus has on the other cameras is a cool looking not-bulky underwater camera.

I'd get Canon if I were to get another. Mini Elph

If I were you I would always look at the pictures taken by other people and reviews. Thats how I chose my camera. I didn't want a professional camera, because I'm not a professional. My Canon Powershot A620 takes great pictures for me, and all the editing I do on my own so I can always ctrl z, know what I'm saying?

Canon has better consumer P&S cameras hands down.

It's a toss up between the two in the DSLR market. You'll have a fine camera either way. Usually what happens though is the people who shot film shot with Nikon (which was arguably the better of the two back in the film era) so they have a bunch of Nikon mount lenses, which made it smarter to stick with Nikon since they had all the lenses already. That's not to say Canon doesn't have a good suite of lenses. Canon L glass = sex.

Personally, I'd go with Canon. Canon makes their own sensors for all of their cameras. IIRC, Nikon uses cheaper Sony sensors in their lower end cameras.

If you're looking at a DSLRs, think about going for a Pentax (Samsung sells a similar camera that is essentially the same thing, though I forget the exact model name). K10D is a prosumer camera with weather seals (though I don't think Pentax has any weather sealed lenses as of yet). If you think you want a good camera and think you'll never want another camera body again, I'd consider looking into Pentax.

Pass on all the Four Thirds system cameras. 2x crop is gay.

For SLR's, I've always heard that Nikon is the best. That's what my photography teacher claims at least. I have a Cannon, and it's still a good camera.

See my point above about film SLRs

NIKON 100% ! ..just cuhz i have it ahahah
