Canon vs Nikon R5 set standard for mirrorless cameras. Nikon lacked behind. Today Nikon has solved major problems. All brands are on par with each other. Choose the camera that has the features you want.

Or, choose the brand that has the unique lenses the competition does not.

The Canon RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM Lens is expected to hit the streets in November 2023. While most photographers will not leave a 10-20mm full-frame lens mounted on their primary camera 100% of the time, having access to that range is differentiating, facilitating creativity, and permitting problem-solving not previously available in-camera. Ultimately, this lens enables imagery that stands out from the mundane. ~ Bryan Carnathan, www.the-digital-picture.com

I don't know any one with both Canon and Nikon cameras that tell me the better one and why. So I use a Canon but can't say it's better than Nikon. Also we need an equivalent model comparison. Other wise your blowing smoke

Everyone does it, it's just that it's not always audible.

About half of what separates a successful photographer from their peers is who has a Canon.


As a disinterested Canon owner, I will say you have a way to stip the pot. 😎

If you followed his posts, you'd understand.

You might consider an extensive reading of reviews, then listing particular questions you can't answer without trying roughly equivalent models yourself, then renting both for a enough time to see which characteristics you prefer.

Why does it matter? If you are a halfway decent photographer you will make good use of whatever you have.

The EOS R5 changed how we think about mirrorless cameras, how we think about photography, how we think about life. The others, not so much.

But honestly, what are you asking? Canon has delivered mirrorless technology that leverages their change to EOS technology in October 1987, an all-electronic solution that continues to deliver benefits to Canon owners in October 2023. Contrast that to Nikon, a company that dithered on electronics and the basics of Auto Focus, where long-time owners find their long-time lenses are not fully-upward compatible with mirrorless cameras.

But honestly, what are you asking? Mirrorless technology is superior, especially the newest mirrorless lens designs, from every one of all the various market competitors. Some are clearly better at automated tracking of moving subjects, but this is a niche need for certain working pros. The rest of us couldn't / wouldn't know the difference.

But honestly, what are you asking? Did any of your current digital cameras turn to dust recently, or similarly stop delivering already superior images? Did your money start burning a hole in your wallet?

The single biggest difference: you mount a lens and turn right (clockwise) when working with Canon, clearly the right way to mount a lens. Everything else is just a difference mix of technology options. Do you want IBIS? How many megapixels? Full-frame vs cropped? What card format? One or two cards? etc, etc.

R5 as good as it is, was not the first outstanding mirrorless camera - Olympus and Sony did it first in M4/3, full frame and DX formats. In Sony's case, a full 6 years before Canon's R5. Just to put things into perspective. But the Sony lens support has taken a while.

Or he could be like me... I saw a Canon at Costco years ago, bought it.
(Yes, I'm a previous Canon owner.)

First has nothing to do with best .... The EOS R5 changed how we think about mirrorless cameras, how we think about photography, how we think about life. The others, not so much.

Good to see Canon finally catching up.

Yes, 10mm is slightly wider than 11mm, but not a good enough reason to jump ship.
