Can anyone really tell if a photograph was taken with a Nikon, Canon or any other brand of a camera just by looking at it??

He could have done it with a Diana. He has the gift of vision and composition and knows his tools perfectly. He is an extraordinary photographer.

Why he chose Canon, some technique and philosophy of what he was trying to do:

In a side-by-side comparison, perhaps you’ll tell there is a difference. After looking at thousands and thousands of images in a portrait photo lab, I could tell which was which between Canon and Nikon. But most don’t have that experience, so it really isn’t a big deal. Pre- and post-processing expertise is more influential — especially on a raw file — than the camera sensor and processor.

Very little. Just color balance and highlight/shadow adjustments.

If you watch the video, he said that while the Nikon might be a better camera, he chose the Canon because it had a "silent" shutter mode so that he would be less intrusive.

Why are the Nikon folks not speaking up?
It's a stupid pointless argument not worth the time.

I think only the 5DMK IV has a silent shutter mode. All the Canon bodies he used before that had a standard shutter.

Although not 'silent' like a mirrorless 'silent', the EOS feature of Silent Single and Silent Continuous Shooting was introduced with the EOS 5DIII, circa March 2012.

My Oly Em10s give me wonderful results under any lighting condition similar to Pete Sousa's, even though my compositions and timing don't match his.

On cameras of similar specifications, probably not! Lest's assume that different brands have a unique colour palette of their own or some other differentials, there are still too many other factors to consider when comparing the two images- different lenses of various makes, was a filter use, was the light conditions the same, are both images straight out of the camera without any editing, the white balance?
You would need to be "Hoodini"!

Wasn’t it Ansel Adams that said something to the effect of if he got a dozen good images it was a good year?
True & my mentor from early years when I shot film told me that if you got 1 or 2 good pics from a roll of 36, you were doing great.

Who was the great photographer who said, "A good photographer will get a great picture with a pin hole camera!"
Probably truer than most of us "multi-camera owners" would like to admit.
