Uhh, neither if you’re talking SLR. They both make good stuff. For work we shoot Nikon, but we’re going to try out Cannon in a couple months to consider a switch. My personal camera is a Pentax K10D and I wouldn’t trade it for a Nikon D80 or D200 (I have Pentax lenses from the late 70’s and early 80’s).

If you have good Minolta lenses Sony actually makes a decent SLR. If you’ve bought into lenses for Nikon or Cannon you should probably stick with the brand. Really, your first consideration with any SLR should be your lenses, then features for the price…Nikon has more low end SLR cameras (although they tend to be somewhat crippled), Cannon has some amazing cameras in the $750-1,250 range. Cannon tends to dominate the sports market with high shot speed, but Nikon is very solid.

Thanks for shareing
