CANON or NIKON ???????????????

One of the most common questions I get asked as a photographer is which is better Canon or Nikon?

My answer is: Does it matter?! No, Not in the grand scheme of things.

The camera is just a tool like any other tool (including me), and yes there are certain things that people prefer about each manufacturer.

However, any photographer should be able to use any camera to create their work. The most important tool is the photographers eye (& brain) look at what is in front of the camera first.

Being one of the few photographers that has switched brands (or sides) I feel that I have some insight on the subject.

I used Nikon for over 10 years and I was more than happy with what Nikon provided but I was in a position to acquire a lot of canon cameras and equipment and I couldn't say no, and besides some of the Nikon gear I had was getting a bit tired and shabby. Yes it did mean learning a new system but it keeps the brain active. 

From my point of view I would like to combine all the best bits of canon and all the best bits of Nikon but that's never going to happen.

On a side note I also used medium format cameras for well over 10 years, more specificly Hasselblad, but no one ever asks me about them, well very rarely.

Thanks for reading. Any questions please ask.
