Which ancient camera you were pleased with means nothing. The question is which modern camera will best suit your future needs. Frankly the Nikon is better, but if you have been satisfied for that long with your current cameras it is a guaranteed thing that either Nikon or Canon will blow you mind... and make you happy for years.


Yes, I agree they are relics in the world of technology. I am leaning towards the Nikon since it will have more of what I am looking, I just wanted some input before I make the big decision. Thankyou for the advice!

If it took you more than a second to grasp the significance perhaps that explains the lack of logic in your comment, as opposed to mine... : - )

I am debating between the Nikon D5600 and the Canon Rebel T7i

I have been using a Nikon D50 and a Canon Rebel T1i and looking to upgrade in the next week. I put more emphasis on stills and very rarely do video, close to never. The Nikon bundle I am looking at is more inexpensive than the Canon's and includes more accessories and equipment, I am leaning more towards the Nikon since I will receive more for my money. Both cameras seem pretty similar to me overall but I would like to hear from more experienced photographers. I wouldn't say I am a beginner but I am a college Art major who wants (more like desperately needs) an upgrade since I did all I could do with my other cameras but don't want to go into debt. I don't need the newest and the best, but something reliable and cost effective. Any advice is welcome!

Thank you!

PS, the Nikon D7200, although is available as a refurb, isn't something I will be able to afford with the lenses and everything else on top of the body. The Sony Alphas are also quite pricey when looking into the lenses and other equipment plus has less options than Canon and Nikon, so I would prefer to stick to the two options I have asked about, thanks again!!! :)

One thing nobody has touched on yet is the D50 has an internal focus motor so you can use AF lenses and they auto focus on your D50. If you plan on using your current Nikon lenses and they are Af and not AF-S you will be focusing the lenses manually.

Good point, but I am getting new lenses with the Nikon, but can't with the Canon. Another reason why I was leaning towards the Nikon

This should be a major factor as the up grade decision involves keeping lenses. If you love manual focusing old AF lenses and like Nikon you are all set but be aware of this issue of all manual focusing.

Selecting a camera depends mostly on your photographic interest and if the camera has the features you know will help you with your photography. My recommendation is that you handle both cameras to determine which one makes you more comfortable.
Since money seems to be also a consideration consider used or refurb bodies. Cameta sells refurbs with a one year warranty.
Many old cameras like the D90 are still very good cameras. Modern cameras are full of new features and their technology is advanced if that is what you need.
I am sure that the D5600 could fulfill your needs but try it first before you buy it just to make sure you are comfortable with its features and ergonomics.

If you guys want to fight, why don't you meet at a neutral site and duke it out? Or if one or both of you are cowards, take it to email instead of mucking up this thread? Or do you relish being known as 'holes?

Since you're using a Nikon D50, what lenses do you have. The D50 lenses will work with a new Nikon as well, so you might want to consider a refurb "body only" Nikon D7200, and use the lenses you have, assuming they are adequate (I would suggest even the "kit" lenses as being okay for what you indicate you're doing. If not, then look at both and hold both - Canon and Nikon are both roughly comparable in quality, and do the same thing so whichever feels better to you is a good bet.

You might also want to look into a used camera - check eBay and also the "ABC" camera stores on the internet (Adorama, B&H, and Cameta). I've purchased refurbished from all and been satisfied.

One other possibility might be a Four Thirds (mirrorless) camera - Olympus and Panasonic, specifically, both make good cameras, comparable to the Nikon and Canon, which are smaller and take excellent pictures. Different format, but both should be great, especially since you've said you have looked at Sony. (I use a Nikon D7200, have a f/1.4 Prime lens and a f/3.5-5.6 18-200mm zoom which I use almost all the time, and I also have an Olympus OM-D-EM5 Mark II which I frequently travel with, as it is about half the size of the Nikon, takes comparable pictures).

I have the Canon i7 and my wife has a Nikon D5500. (Also have a Canon 5D mark iii) I like the Canon because if is more intuitive to use. You might want to consider the the Canon t6 a better value and the same quality . as the T7i. I often use my T7i due to the ease of use.
