The Canon versus Nikon game has been going on since the establishment of the two brands and it has always been a bit of a see-saw performance. In more recent memory, Nikon went top dog with its Nikon D300 and D3 thanks to its super high ISO and beautiful high-res LCD amongst other features. However, Canon then managed to strike back with its Canon EOS 7D and 550D in a time when Nikon's R&D seems to gone MIA (missing in action). Well, the Nikon D7000 and D3100 shows that Nikon have actually been busy in that time. So with the Nikon D90 traditionally competing with the Canon EOS 50D, it makes sense for us to take a look at the Nikon D7000 against the Canon EOS 60D.

Canon EOS 60D versus Nikon D7000 C Key Differences

Movie Recording - While the Nikon D7000 may appear to have the trumps with its AF-F focusing mode which allows AF during movie recording, it still suffers from the Achilles Heels in that it only offers 24fps frame rate in full frame shooting.

Continuous Burst Speed - Traditionally one of the key attractions for buyers of the Canon XXD series, the Canon EOS 60D is actually slower than the Canon 50D and to add insult to injury, the Nikon D7000 now offers a higher speed of 6fps as opposed to the 5.3fps of the 60D. Still it's not enough of a difference to really make a difference but you would have expected better from Canon.

Metering and Focusing System - Always a strength of the Nikon range, it's no difference in this comparison. The Nikon D7000 offers us the Nikon Multi-CAM 4800DX focus system which offers 39 focus points including 9 cross-type sensors. With options to shoots with a single-point AF, 9-, 21- or 39-point dynamic-area AF, the D7000 appears more advanced that the more simple 9-point cross type AF System of the 60D. As far as metering is concerned, the answer will come after more testing but the new TTL exposure metering using 2,016-pixel RGB sensor of the Nikon D7000 will offer much food for thoughts.

LCD & Vari-angle shooting - It goes without saying that one of the main features of the Canon 60D will be its vari-angle LCD. For those who need to shoot frequently at awkward angles will find this extremely useful. However, that is not the only thing that is useful about the 60D's display. Proportioned at 3:2, the Canon LCD is scaled to better display the images taken by the equally proportioned sensor. The extra bit of resolution at 1040k also makes it a slight touch better than the D7000.

Memory Card Slot - Considering how well received this feature is by the pros and semi-pros, it is not surprising that Nikon has introduced in the Nikon D7000. With two SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slots, the Nikon D7000 offers superior flexibility and management of images taken. This is really something that we should have seen from Canon by now.

Rugged Body- When Canon released the 7D, we thought that they were finally taking note of the demand for more rugged bodies. The Canon 550D was not too shabby for the positioning in the more entry-level arena but seeing a similar, slightly improved body on the 60D was disappointing. Mind you, the vari-angle LCD would not be tough by any standards and could easily get broken off if you were to drop it awkwardly. Furthermore, the lack of a magnesium alloy body has turned off many would be suitors and to make things worse, the Nikon D7000 is actually lighter.

My Verdict

For those who are already locked into a system of their choice should consider the following:

Get the Canon EOS 60D

- If you need a vari-angle LCD to shoot from different positions

- If you need to shoot Full HD at 25/30fps frame rates

Get the Nikon D7000

- If you need more flexibility in saving your images

- If you need a more rugged body to take knocks or rougher weather

Camera 500D - Canon Eos 500D Rebel T1I

Since the early days of digital photography, I use mainly include electronic devices. Although the picture quality in the initial period as compared to analog photography was pretty gruesome, so the direct availability, direct editing weighed, the direct print mE In most cases, the disadvantages of the lack of quality.

For the cases of truly challenging photography I took my two analog SLR to date: a Rolleiflex and a Minolta.

The Canon EOS 500D is my first digital SLR. A gift of the family on the recommendation of a photo retailer.

The initial experience.

Focus and speed: Automatic, fast, accurate in all available modes. In any case, this is true with the supplied kit lens 18-55mm IS. In focus-tracking is still accurate, and also for movement-images quickly enough.

Manual focus of course, also works. But why? Exposure and focus can be set to spot or evaluative. This is sufficient for practice.

Handling: This material is OK. The camera seems robust and stable. Only in comparison with the magnesium-Teddy from Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus is seen and felt it better.

The camera is great for my hands not the optimum, but it can still work well with it. The "low" weight has advantages and disadvantages. The balance is thus more in the direction of the lens, you have to carry less. Stabilization by hand is not sufficient given. Anyone who comes from a compact camera, and has never worked with an SLR, will find the camera but as a very high quality and very large.

All buttons and controls open up after a short acclimation. The monitor is of excellent quality.

However, the monitor I use only for movies and for settings. In the pure photography mode, I shut it off permanently, because I'm used to at first, use the viewfinder of an SLR, and second is the Live View focusing a slow wit.

What exactly is this live-view? In my view, a pure marketing gimmick for people who come from digital compact cameras. The viewfinder is much faster and the first images the way you want them and how you see them.

I use the movie mode in the 720p version. Give me perfect, and the results are reproduced at 30 frames per second, also in a liquid. Unlike others, I find the video function is very nice and helpful. Here you MUST use the Monitor Incidentally, since, because the mirror pops up, the viewfinder remains black.

For the main point: How are the pictures?

I can only write something about the standard system, ie, body image stabilization with the kit lens 18-55mm.

Quite amazing in my eyes the noise performance, image stabilization and the detailing of the camera in poor, low-light conditions. I've shot in street lighting, clear photos of moving objects are not from the hand to ISO 1600. Super.

Here the noise behavior of the camera is really very good. Both RAW as well as in JPEG Fine. Indoors, I leave the flash off and the images are generally 1A.

Enables you to pinpoint the flash of a face against a light background, for example, add, control the camera performs a really great job: The images are not "flash is dead" but really brightened only by the relevant authorities. The rest, of course, remains.

The level of detail is extremely high, though many details are available, which differ in color. BUT: In contrast to low light conditions, the texture behavior in the sunshine in JPEG mode is improved. Regardless of whether program, aperture or aperture priority and even in purely manual recording level> the texture behavior, and also the highlight of treatment are not optimal.

Texture says: The surface treatment. Here for example is from my white shepherd dog in the snow in sunlight, sometimes even a white mass with two button issues, and I quite a lot of aperture, time, white balance, etc. I experimented. DAS may also have a good compact better. This could be, as is the dynamic behavior at high dynamic range of the recording in JPEG mode, with a firmware adjustment mE be improved.

All in all, the Camera 500D, but a very good, fast camera with excellent picture quality in almost any lighting condition, which dedicated amateur photographers offers everything they need when they do not want to shoot in the rain or the Sahara. The image quality in RAW mode is probably just as well as in the two-digit and APS-C models from Nikon and Canon.

I do not know yet whether I'll keep it. If I had picked myself a DSLR and would not get this as a gift, it would probably become a Pentax K-7th Why?

I once had with a Rolleiflex in the Sahara. After the repair and cleaning was almost as expensive as the camera itself. A water-and dust-tight enclosure is m.E. worth a lot and for a reasonable price, offers, in conjunction with a magnesium body and video recording, only the Pentax. > How Will see. For, from this level of photography, the EOS 500D back in the digital compact class level now also even () anymore.

Which cameras are usually the best for shooting in low light - Nikon or Canon?

Which is better for shooting in low light? (and produces photos with the least noise/grain).

Yes, I know that it varies with different models... and there has been extensive debate over which camera is better, but I am trying to choose between Canon or Nikon and I'm not sure which is the best for shooting in low light. I understand this may be a hard question to answer, but I would really like to hear some opinions from those who have a lot of experience with both Canon and Nikon cameras.
Thanks in advance.

I like to think Nikon, the D700 outperforms the Mark II in low light with less noise, but that's because of the lower mega pixels, either one is good, but if you are that concerned I would say go with Nikon, they are both equally good, but I don't know how Canon's are, cause I am a Nikon user. But I am sure they are too similar to notice a difference.

We've all heard how the h.264 is rolled over on patents and royalties. Even with these facts, I kept supporting the best-performing "delivery" codec in the market, which is h.264. "Let the best win", I kept thinking. But it wasn't until very recently when I was made aware that the problem is way deeper. No, my friends. It's not just a matter of just "picking Theora" to export a video to Youtube ...
