Haven't found anything helpful in current posts, that describes what the major differences are between for example the Canon 5R mirrorless and the equivalent Nikon. Would someone educate me?

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.

Paul, it’s obvious you don’t like Canon cameras. 😁😁

Great things are accomplished by talented people who believe they need Canon EOS technology.

Since your prior posts Bryan are on Canon cameras, presumably you have been shooting Canon? Are you unhappy with some aspect of your current photography? If so, maybe you can describe what your current situation is?

So youve been reading "current posts" ? Then how can you be so foolish and ridiculous as to lauch a thread titled "Canon vs Niion" ? Bozo or troll, flip a coin and it will land on its edge.

I so want to say Buick versus Chevy, but I won't.
I'll just go shoot with my Sonikanontaxpus.

Yes. It seems much kinder on its responses than most here. Wait...maybe we just need an AI-based forum.

I do not doubt that Paul but my retired ophthalmologist, right now photographing in Kenya, is saying the same thing about his Z8 and Nikon lenses.

It all comes down to what you want out of your equipment. A decent photographer can get award winning images from either one of these camera's.
So many folks get hung up on features. For over 60 years I have used camera's on Manual mode. That is still the case today. There is NO difference between Nikon and Canon in Manual Mode. A image shot at 1/125 sec. @ f8 @ iso 100, (if that is the correct exposure) will be the same on Nikon, Canon, Sony, or any brand.
When it comes to auto focus and mirrorless camera's Sony has been very innovative.
I can get great images out of a $400.00 Sony HX99 camera that are as good or better than Nikon or Canon.
The difference between Canon versus Nikon comes down to the skill of the photographer. NOT THE EQUIPMENT.

In many fewer words than used by Canon loving “CHG_CANON” I will tell you that the mounts are completely different. “What is the difference” is a question frequently used by the Admin to attract new business, because he knows that lovers of each brand will rise to the bait.

My experience is to just get any camera that still works properly and go shoot whatever pictures you want. It's the pictures that are memories that count, not the equipment that you used. Practice until you are good or until you die, whichever comes first. The battle over quality has sold a lot of camera equipment and made some of the companies rich and quite a few of us poor.
