布小熊, I agree half ..
Yes, go to a store to try them out is good .. but 5/10 min trying in a store, won't help .. even 2 same bodies, but with different lens, different setting .. different result.
In general, Canon produces much better SKIN tone for us (yellow dudes) but you can get great skin tone for asian from Nikon too, (Port mode, or whatever tuning)
Even put a 550D and D3100 side by side, with same standard setting, still can't tell which one is better for a specific user...
At the end of the day, from either camera, can probably produce SAME image, with different setting ...
Probably down to what STYLE you want, and price/value and if you care where the camera is made.
I agree Nikon's bodies look a bit more pro, and more "traditional" ... and I kind of like their look more at first sight, however, to me, Canon's bodies, (rounder, more simple) is more user friendly, and more long lasting style.
Example, my wife, she used to like NIKON more, since they look more PRO, and a bit higher grade, (feel more solid) however, last few years, I just let her to use whatever Brand, including Pana/Oly/Sony/Minolta etc .... and she prefers to use Canon, easlier to use, and easlier for her to take better picture... without too much learning and tuning.
To me, doesn't matter, whatever brand, I set the body to my preference anyway ....  |
