In the consumer world of photography, there is one question above all others – which camera should I buy? There is the matter of cost, of course, and then the question of quality. This question is important because it affects how a photographer chooses lenses, lenses, and lenses, but it is usually not asked of professional photographers. Professional photographers can choose either Canon or Nikon, and can use either a digital or film SLR, and they often get paid to do so.
But there is another reason for professional photographers to use the Canon brand. Professional photographers are usually paid to use a particular camera brand. This means that they must sell their images for more money than if they used a different brand, even though the images are created using the same equipment. Why? Because a Canon image looks better than a Nikon image. And this has nothing to do with the quality of the cameras.
Professional photographers who are paid by the day or the hour, and who may not be able to set aside the time to take hundreds of images, simply have to pay a price for the appearance of the images they create. This means that if you are paying professional photographers to create images, you have the right to ask which camera brand they use.
But does this really matter? To most consumers, the answer is yes. Consumers buy products on the basis of quality and price. They are not usually concerned about the brand that is used to produce the products they buy.

So what about the quality of the cameras?
Nikon cameras are more robust and easier to use. Their lenses are more durable and have a wider range of focus. The quality of Nikon lenses is high, and the design and build quality is generally good.
On the other hand, Canon lenses have an impressive quality reputation. But in the case of the digital SLR cameras, the quality of the lenses is less of an issue. The quality of the lenses used by professional photographers is generally good, although it is not as high as the quality of the lenses used by amateur photographers. The quality of the lenses used by amateur photographers is also often lower. So if the camera does not matter, what matters is the lens.
As for the quality of the camera bodies, they are both of high quality. In fact, many professional photographers prefer to use the cheaper Nikon camera bodies because they have a superior image quality and, in many cases, superior ergonomics. If you are serious about photography, you should invest in the higher quality bodies.
So what about the cost of the cameras?
A Canon body will cost you more than a Nikon body, and you will pay a premium for the brand name. You will have to pay more for the camera body, for the lenses, and for the lenses, and for the accessories, such as the camera bag and the memory cards.
If you want to buy a camera body, you can buy the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the Canon EOS 7D, the Nikon D5100, or the Nikon D7000. All these cameras are excellent, and they will do what you need them to do, but they do have their limitations.
The number of megapixels is an indicator of the image quality of the camera, and in general, a higher number of megapixels leads to a better quality image.
Now you might say that the difference between the two cameras is not that great. But the quality of the images created by the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D5100 are very similar. The quality of the images created by the Canon EOS 7D and the Nikon D7000 are also very similar.
But this does not mean that you can’t buy the Canon EOS 7D or the Nikon D7000.
And the reason that the prices are so similar is because, in general, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Nikon D5100 are sold at roughly the same price. The only significant difference between the two is that the Canon EOS 7D and the Nikon D7000 are sold at a higher price, because the Canon EOS 7D has a greater number of megapixels and the Nikon D7000 has a better sensor.
What do the professionals use?
Most professional photographers use the Nikon D3s, the Nikon D5100, or the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but some choose to use the Canon EOS 7D.
Which camera should you use?
If you are a professional photographer and you are being paid to create images for others, you will have to accept that you should create the highest quality of the images.
