Nikon or Canon, what is better?  

Oh!I feel very happy to see this discussion.I'm expert at photography and now I use a Canon DSLR camera.And I can tell you Nikon or Canon has the same quality,they can offer you the image of high quality,superior performance.Nikon is good at taking pictures of scenery,and Canon is good at taking pictures of people.It's all depend on your need.Although I perfer to use Canon because I choose to use it at first,I can't deny Nikon is one of the best camera brand in the world.I hope you can enjoy your life with your valuable camera every day,use it to record the wonderful time in your daily life.

for me, nikon and canon have the same level of perfection. they have their own quality and standard. from my experience using DSLR, nikon DSLR is more user friendly due to the arrangement of its button. but then, its it up to you to decide, which system you want to use.

Each of these companies makes many, many different cameras. To ask whether a Canon or a Nikon would be better for you means nothing: what kind of camera are you looking at, in what price range, and for what kind of photography? If someone with a Canon 450D told you it was an entry level camera, and a Nikon Coolpix user said his camera was the best in its class, which would you choose? No matter what kind of photographs you wanted to take, the 450D would outperform the Coolpix. One is an SLR, the other a compact, and they are like chalk and cheese! But does that mean Canon is the better make? No, of course not. You should have compared the 450D with a D60, not a Coolpix; or the Nikon Coolpix with an equivalent Canon Sureshot.

So, before you worry about what brand, try to sort out which of the 4 main types of camera will be most appropriate, then check out the offerings from each of the main suppliers to be sure they have the specifications to meet your needs. Finally, handle the cameras on your short list: the same camera can be perfect for one photographer and a source of endless frustration to another, regardless of brand.
