I was never a Nikon guy. My perception of them was always that they were big, clunky, expensive and used by old guys stuck in their ways, but I'm now about to pull the trigger on a D800E after using a friend's with the 180mm f2.8 lens - wow, just wow! Also, I was always a "one system" guy but after following your channel for a while and learning about older cameras I've felt encouraged to try other cameras for different looks. Picked up a 5D Mark II a year ago and loving it. Still bring out my Fuji X-T4 now and then but I'm kinda bored of the APS-C look after playing with older Full Frame DSLR's. Anyways, keep up the great content Martin. Thanks a lot!
these days, a Canon 5D1 with a 40mm pancake cost less than a Leica Battery... IMO, that 40mm alone is a good reason to own a Canon FF Body for street/travel. Cheap, small, sharp and has AF. Nikon doesn't have an equivalent.
For me? Nikon.
One problem I have with my Nikon cameras is the greenish tint of skin. It is slight but not easy to remove
Good video. I shoot primarily Nikon because my work (architectural and product photography) often requires very low light and shadow recovery. In dark settings I find the Nikon files much easier to work with in these situations. When I’m playing around during the day with photographing people, I have found that I prefer the canon files and color profile over Nikon just slightly. Both are great systems (particularly Nikons Z series sensors and glass) but I can appreciate the value of both systems for different speciality use cases
Am an long time Nikon shooter - mainly wildlife in the past, but decided to start learning portrait photography this year. Have owned and still own quite a lot of Nikkor glass, especially the old manual focus lenses (like the 105mm f/2. 5). Beautiful optics. Best mf lens is the Voigtlander 58mm fmount. Put it on the D700, shoot in monochrome and you will be amazed. Bought a Canon 5d mk2 after seeing some of your vids (and started your editing course btw) with a 50mm f/1.8 and an adapter to shoot my nikon glass. It's not possible the othe way around but I am a fan after I learned the focusing screen could be replaced - got the s-screen and allI do is manual focus and loving the colours. Thank you for the vids👍
Throughout my life, I have enjoyed photography as a spectator, looking at glossy photos in magazines such as National Geographic. It wasn't until later in life - I'm now in my early sixties - that I actually decided to do something about it. I had not the slightest clue about photography or cameras, so I asked an acquaintance who taught film photography at a local college what camera I should buy. He told me, "Get a Canon T5i, or a T6i if you can afford it." I stumped up for the T6i and have never looked back: a great camera to get started with, capable of producing superb images. I'm sure Nikon and Sony's cameras are superior in some ways (but inferior in others), but Canon was the system I bought into, and I can't say I have any complaints.
I used to think that I had to use Canon a few years ago when I was an entry level hobby photographer. I had a Nikon and everyone told me to buy a Canon. I just ate it up switched to Canon, used that for years for wedding and event photography and some months ago went back to Nikon. I shoot portraits and street scenery almost entirely and have found that I just get along with Nikon better. Since I also shoot almost exclusively on natural light the dynamic range makes a big difference to mw and allows for easy detail recovery during processing.
I am a Nikon user. I feel like the Nikon cameras fit better in your hand and they are easier to hold steady. The shutter release button sits in a more upright position which makes it easier to release without camera shake. I like DSLR and don't plan to switch to mirrorless in the near future and Nikon DSLR cameras have far out performed Canon, in my opinion. I shoot sports, landscape, and portrait and much prefer the images I get with Nikon. I have shot both side by side in low light gyms and Canon can't perform as well as Nikon in those situations.
I had mostly Canon cameras in the past until I got swept into the CCD sensor versus the CMOS sensor argument. Convinced on CCD I got the last of those, a Nikon D3000 and soon got frustrated with so many settings only accessible through a menu. Since I already built a collection of Nikon lenses, I stuck with the brand and updated to the D7000. a pleasure to use. I did swap most of my modern AFS DX lenses to the older AFD type. These, like the 80-200 f2.8 and the 105 f2.8 macro deliver pin sharp results at any f stop, even wide open. They have a better "quality" feel to the more modern AFS lenses that feel somewhat cheap and plasticky.
As a hobbyist the gear is part of the hobby also. I recently bought a 5Dc and am using it next to my D610 and S5 Pro. Fun thing is that I can use Nikon glass on the Canon. And I’ve adapted my vintage Pentax lenses from film to digitale finally.
I recently added a DSRL kit to my kit. I went with Canon over Nikon, mainly for these reasons:
Hey Martin, what a great collection of videos, I'm really enjoying your content. I started in 1995, with film. My dad worked as a photographer at some point and he used Nikon, so I went that way, starting with a basic camera and soon gaining momentum as a paid photographer, in 1998 I upgraded to the mighty Nikon F5(which I still have!). Fast forward to 2007 and Nikon went to press to confirm that they would not release a full frame camera(Canon already had the 5D Mark 1) and I could not see the point in staying with a system that, I felt, was 'holding me back'. So I switched to Canon, sold most of my Nikon gear(except the F5) and got on with it. For 15 years I stuck with Canon(no one can say I didn't give it a fair go can they?), and very happily indeed. But in February 2022 I saw for the first time the Nikon Z9. Believe it or not, up until then, I was completely and utterly oblivious of whatever Nikon was doing(or Canon for that matter). I was a happy go lucky photographer, enjoying my gear and shooting away. I had no idea what was going on with mirrorless, focusing systems and eye detection. The Z9, for some reason, 'spoke' to me the same way the F5 did all those years ago. I saw the F5's DNA in it, but a million times better(to my eyes anyway). So with no hesitation, I switched back. I am loving my Z9! I only got prime lenses, all of them! From 20 to 85mm, all F1.8 and the 105 macro F2.8. Incredible image quality these new Z lenses! As you know, I still have the Canon 5D Mark 1, now as an Infrared camera with a 'nifty-fifty'. So all in all it's been a great success story for me so far. Loved the video, Cheers, Ray.
Thanks! Nice review of these 2 big brands! Very informative!
Always great content Martin! I'd been using a Canon 1Dmkiii since 2009 and had built up a few lenses notably the 17-40 f4 and the 70-200 f4is, both worked well on the APSH sensor. Sadly the old 1D died last year after a drop resulting in a failed shutter and the cost of repair wasnt worth it, so I picked up a 5D classic to keep using the lenses. Coming from a 1D body the 5D autofocus was frustratingly unreliable, so the 5D took on more tripod work and a little later I picked up a Nikon D700 mainly to test older AI lenses I'd started repairing and rebuilding for my film work. Honestly, i was stunned at the performance from the D700, I'd stupidly dismissed Nikon DSLR's as un-refined bricks (my friends were shooting Nikon in the past and I'd played with them a little). It didnt take me long to grab a couple of AFD and G lenses (50mmf1.8 / 85f1.8D), then later a slightly smaller D600 for travel after one of your earlier video recommendations. The 5D classic with good lenses is a lovely camera when you work within its limitations, but these older Nikons are well worth the investment - and I can still use my old manual lenses with accurate focus confirmation when i want a break from film. I'll continue to use both brands side by side, they both have their strengths which you have covered perfectly in this video. Cheers.
Great content. Helped me a lot. Will follow for more. Amateur RE Photographer here using Nikon D3300 10-20mm. I didn't know that there's a good dynamic range in the brand. Thanks for the insights again.
You're brutally honest and I like that about your tutorials. You say things as they're meant to be said👏
Good information, and you accurately described both sides of each argument. For me I'm fully invested in Canon EF. I picked them for the color science and lens options. For me, Canon's color science, can't be beat. I also agree that lenses shouldn't only be considered by their sharpness, unless you only shoot test charts! The human face does not like to be photographed with extreme detail.
Thank you for the video and your experience, as always interesting and useful! I chose kenon when I was shooting reports, but then I always envied Nikon's dynamic range and autofocus😁
You're right Martin and that's why I have both the Nikon D780 and a Canon 5D MK IV cameras. I love the dynamic range, low light rendering, autofocus system and color rendition of the Nikon D780 DSLR. As far as the Canon 5D MK IV DSLR I love the skin tones for portraits, gorgeous color palette and cinematic rendering with Canon lenses. There are so many great Canon EF lenses with character and cinematic rendering. I found I couldn't choose one over the other because they compliment each other so well. I love and use both systems. The Canon and Nikon flash systems are quite good as well for wedding and event photographers.
