As to bodies the differences now with the updated video is again a tossup. I was shooting a downtown event. The Canon shooters were very evident with their huge white lenses, the Nikon shooters blended in "better" with their black lenses. It seemed like more were shooting Canon but that wasn't the case, they were just more visible.
The local large newspaper in my largish town supplies D3 or D3s's to their photogs, not Canon. Pro photographer in L. Does that prove anything? Some even shoot both!? Some of it may also be inertia, though things change fairly fast in the pro realm if there's a real advantage to one system or another that cancels out the switching expense, mostly in lenses.
Many pros shoot or have shot both systems. Canon 20 years ago came out with their EF lens mount and a wide range of less expensive fast telephoto motor-in-lens Autofocus lenses that focused much more rapidly than Nikon's screw drive in-body-focus-motor system.
Sports pros took note, and Canon ruled the roost at sports venues for years. Canon also released an affordable f4 telephoto range which appealed to dedicated amateurs and weight conscious shooters wildlife and backcounty , which Nikon has not yet seen fit to counter. Nikon has in the interim equalled Canon's AF speed and bested Canon AF accuracy with their own in-lens-AF-motor AF system and lenses, and have won many pro sports shooters back with their exquisite fast teles and tele zooms.
Nikon also arguably makes the best consumer zooms on the market, so it's covered both ends of the spectrum but not necessarily the middle. At this point, neither system - even at the entry level - is really limiting your ability to shoot world-class photos; much much more is dependent upon your skill and artistic sensibilities, as it pretty much always has been. Once you get to the pro realm, Nikon and Canon each have their own strong points that attract particular shooters; but if you can't figure out what they are for yourself, you ain't there yet and should just go with the tool that fits your working style the best.
For most pro shooters, especially those working for news agencies, etc. Most pros have thousands invested in lenses, flashes, batteries, accessories, etc. Even the introduction of the D3, which had a definite advantage over the Canons of the time, was not enough to pull many away from their Canon systems.
When it comes to minor differences, as with the 1DX and D4, it's even more difficult to justify switching. As for Canon's seeming dominance, they simply established an early lead. It's fair to say that the early Canons i. As already mentioned, the 5D gave Canon a huge advantage over Nikon, particularly in the wedding shooter market.
I was aware that Canon and Nikon are essentailly leap frogging each other in terms of offerings, but really wanted some food for thought on why I see so many Canon pro users.
I am looking into some better lenses, and even comparing the prices on the F2. So besides economics and the Canon shooters being particulalry obvious with the white lenses, I was wondering if there was something else. Your post really sheds some light on how the difference in business model and customer support network for Pros plays into it. I sure would like to be wined and dined too, but reality is that it is unlikely to happen to me even if Nikon started doing it.
I take pictures purely for my amusement and Nikon has more offering than I would ever need. I got thinking about future equipment and if I missed something when I noticed the price difference on a couple of lenses. I was also thinking about the gap in Video capability and access to IP. I know that thre is some old schol thinking that DSLR for video is a bad idea, but I am a forward looking person and am more than happy if my camera can do it as best as it can.
Tell you the truth, I wish I'd bought a 5DII when they first came out and was now invested in full frame lenses. No regrets, really, but I could have just had one full frame body all this time. I guess it could just as well been a D The Sony a7 IV is the fourth generation of the company's core a7 full-frame mirrorless camera model, and it's the most advanced yet. Click through for an in-depth look at Sony's latest full-frame mirrorless ILC. Nik Silver Efex Pro 3, one of the standout components of Nik Collection 4, is a black-and-white conversion tool that goes far further than the grayscale or black-and-white tools built into all-in-one photo apps.
For some users, this app alone might be worth the cost of the whole collection — find out for yourself in our review. The Nikon Z mm F2. This body was released in and was a real competitor to the universal favourite Nikon D But since then, Nikon upgraded the series, coming up with D in This Nikon camera body outperforms the Canon in every area, from ISO range to video capabilities, image quality, speed, and autofocus accuracy.
There is a catch as there is a considerable price gap between the two. For this reason, 6D Mark II remains an affordable and reasonable choice for those looking for a beginner full-frame camera.
In the upper-end full-frame cameras, the winner is not as straightforward. If we look at the comparison, we can see why Nikon takes the lead here. Its 46 MP vs. These include video shooting 5. This is the area where Nikon is lacking.
M is a crop sensor entry-level mirrorless camera. It offers 24 MP resolution, an ISO range from to 25 , 6 fps continuous shooting, and internal flash. It also has twice as wide an ISO range, a longer flash coverage, and weatherproof sealing. Just like with DSLR top-end cameras, there are different categories in this area with mirrorless as well.
In the enthusiast full-frame mirrorless cameras department, Nikon Z6 and Canon R6 compete. The winner here is not so obvious, as the Z6 sensor, handling system, and price are more favourable. On the other hand, the R6 provides better video shooting opportunities and low-light management. When we talk about the best mirrorless camera from these brands, we must mention Canon R5 and Nikon Z7. Here, Canon has a significantly better video and low light management system. The reason is that Z7 is two years older.
Significant mirrorless improvements have taken place over the past few years. Until then, Canon is the camera body to go for if you are looking for the best.
Canon and Nikon are the two most widespread digital photography brands. The debate between the two camera brands has been going on for decades and still does not have a consensus. Both brands have their strengths and weaknesses. Canon is better when it comes to compatibility. Nikon wins on the mirrorless market. Other manufacturers are also catching up with their own methods of image stabilization.
Canon isn't perfect. No system is. Canon is finally getting around to producing a comparable lens again soon. So definitely look carefully at all your options. If you wife has a number of older, manual focus or even earlier AF lenses, one of the more advanced Nikon models that can use them might be just the ticket. Olympus, Pentax, Sony and others are putting out some excellent offerings, too.
Nice Anniversary gift idea, by the way. Best of luck with your shopping! Alan Myers "Walk softly and carry a big lens. I think you had a bad copy. Shooting wide open at such large apertures will almost give you more CA or softer images.
Canon glass is almost always cheaper than Nikon glass if you consider it an arm and leg. What gear are you using? I think it's wildly unjust to say that a Leica is "more than any Canon". Have you honestly shot and practiced with everything? Good luck on your Leica quest though. I honestly think that people take gear far too seriously though.
I've seen plenty of gorgeous shots from Nikon, Canon, Leica, everything and that's all that really matters to me. For me though, certain implementations like the scroll wheel on Canon's bodies provide a nice touch to the package that I don't see appearing on Nikons any time soon.
There are slight differences in processed images spat out form the cameras, but in the end it's all about getting the results you want with the gear you have at your disposal.
If you can, you should probably take your wife along and have her try out the systems in the store so she can find something she's happiest with. Or a personal voucher for a camera system of her choice perhaps if you want to keep it a secret?

Feb 02, Hope this helps. Longwatcher Longwatcher obsolete as of this post. Feb 02, as a reply to DocFrankenstein's post DocFrankenstein wrote in post The thing is, both systems work and have their strong points and weak points.
The difference in these two lens mounts is significant. Nikon cameras have always, since their inception, been designed with priority on smaller and lighter weight bodies rather than larger sensors.
While Canon is designing their cameras to work with a wide range of lenses from different manufacturers, Nikon has focused on producing a small number of high quality lenses that are optimized to work flawlessly on each and every one of their bodies.
If a Nikon camera has the same sensor size as a Canon camera, the Nikon camera will always weigh less and be smaller. Let me give you an example of this. The Nikon D has a full frame 36 megapixel sensor.
