Nikon and Canon

Nikon and Canon

It is logical that the two companies are opposed to each other, and each company wants to produce products that are not similar to those produced by competitors. As for the camera industry segment, I recently discovered amazing things.

Nikon DSLR cameras have the letter 'D' in their name, which is an abbreviation for 'Digital' - 'digital', for example, Nikon D3. Previously Nikon film SLR cameras had the letter 'F' in the name, this letter is an abbreviation for 'Film' - 'film', for example Nikon F5. Canon DSLR cameras also have the letter 'D' in their name, looking at the list of all cameras Canon и Nikon You can find interesting couples (I specifically missed the EOS prefix):

  • Canon 1D and Nikon D1
  • Canon 1DX and Nikon D1X
  • Canon 4oD and Nikon D4o
  • Canon 5oD and Nikon D5o
  • Canon 6oD and Canon D6o and Nikon D6o
  • Canon 7oD and Nikon D7o
  • Canon 1ooD and Nikon D1oo
  • Canon 6ooD and Nikon D6oo
  • Canon 7ooD and Nikon D7oo
  • Canon 75oD and Nikon D75o
  • Canon 3ooD and Nikon D3oo
  • Canon 8ooD and Nikon D8oo

The difference lies in the position of the letter 'D', and the logic in the numbering of cameras is sometimes impossible to trace. Similar letters in the names of cameras, manufacturers, too, copy from each other - Canon 1Ds and Nikon D3oosWell, at least they have different logos.

To differ from each other, letters alone are not enough, because there are still interesting, even funny moments:

  • Lenses on the Nikon snap in counterclockwise and detach in a clockwise direction. Canon has the opposite.
  • Nikon mount F, Canon mount EF (EF-S)
  • Canon lenses have microprocessor plate contacts, and in the camera they attach to special protrusions. Nikon lenses have everything the other way around, on the lenses themselves there are contacts-protrusions of the microprocessor, and in the camera they are attached to the contacts-plates.
  • The zoom ring on Nikon and Canon class 18-55 whale lenses rotates in different directions, the same goes for the direction of rotation when focusing.
  • Canon's super cool lenses are credited with the letter L in the title and added red a ring on the lens body, Nikon draws in contrast yellow a gold ring on their lenses.
  • Canon uses Ультра- low dispersion glass (Ultra low Dispersion glass - UD) in lenses, Nikon uses Extra- low dispersion glass (Extra low Dispersion glass - ED)
  • IS (Image Stabilizer) from Canon and VR (Vibration Reduction) by Nikon
  • USM at Canon and SWM at Nikon
  • Canon's flash is called Speedliteat Nikon Speedand, too :)
  • At canon yellow or blue backlighting on auxiliary monochrome displays, at Nikon green backlight.
  • Nikon Distinguished and Named Macro Lenses'Microphone', Canon has the same designation'Macro', you can still find many such perversions.

In the general case, everyone comes up with his own super-ultra-extra stuff, and we can only figure out these confusing and pairwise-dual things from Nikon and Canon.

Actually, as I promised, this article is purely entertaining. If you know any interesting differences or features between Nikon \ Canon cameras, write in the comments, I will be interested to read.

Seriously, take a look at a series of articles on this subject:

    I’m sure not to bypass the side, just by hitting the title of the statty at a glance - it’s funny to comment ..) vs Canon.)) We are all guilty of remembering the old truth: “it’s a mystery to walk like a metal”, but I don’t have to help you with tools! I can get rid of those who know about the hardware with the “H” bayonets, which can easily (don't expect)) climb on the phone without problems. It is possible to cross over with a sieve, which is krashta, Ukrainian chi "public")). Zara bury melodic XD ..))

    Again I was disappointed in Nikon (after oil stains). Why, he installed autofocus with 51 points in the new crop camera, so he also turned off the low-pass filter, and in the new full-frame camera - 39 points (I compare the D7100 and D600). Now think about what to choose ((((

    • pasha

      Want a full frame with 51 focus points and no low-pass filter, so you have the choice of the D800e, which is what you are worried about.

  • Denis

    And in which new Nikon DX camera did it set autofocus with 51 points ???

    • Ivmulder

      Nikon D7100

      • Denis

        Ah ... Just yesterday in the comment above it was “(I compare D7000 and D600)”, and today instead of D7000 there is D7100. I use the D7000 - everything seems to be OK, but the other day I shot quite a bit on the D300 in conjunction with the Nikkor 16-85. Already from the second shot I adapted to the D300 camera and found even more "fit" in my hands and efficiency in work than the D7000. Hence the conclusion and advice: you should always take a camera with the prefix "prof", even though it will be an old man D300 (s). Some time ago I took the D7000 and saved mere pennies on the difference with the D300s - now I realized that I had saved in vain.

  • AM

    I wonder - how many photographers are there among Nikon and Canon fans?

  • aidyn

    ))))))) hahaha this can not be stopped
    I am a NIKONIST (I didn’t hold a canon in my life)

  • Oleg

    The main disadvantage of kenon is worse color! More precisely, the wrong color rendition.
    All other characteristics after that are no longer so important ...

    This competition will be forever! Like two opposites! And in competition in the market cool photo products appear! And only WE consumers benefit from this! There will be no Canon then and Nikon will calm down. And vice versa. Cool cameras like the D200 and m2! The more competition the more accurate BB :) This dispute is useless

    tell me how fast a))) http://nikon.ru/ru_RU/news_room/news_releases_main.page?Period=New&Quarter=0&SY=0&ID=templatedata\ ru_RU \ news_article \ data \ 2013-02-D7100

  • Denis KZ

    The D7100 received a new matrix and an excellent 51-point autofocus module, plus led in the viewfinders, and a higher resolution on the screen - a real flagship among the DX.
    It will be interesting to test this camera, as there is no low-pass filter in front of the matrix.
    Maybe someone will hand it over to Arkady?

    But still, I am inclined to say that 24 MP on crop, this is the limit, because the smaller the pixel size, the noisier the matrix (similar in MP with FX) and less DD.

    Not really, was it so difficult to put a module with 600 points in the D51?

    • pasha

      Do you really believe that autofocus at 39 and 51 points will affect your photo?

      • Yuriy75

        In general, most of the time I use one of them; 9 points are enough for me.

  • Denis

    I also wanted to write exactly the same thoughts as above, but I didn’t have time a bit :)) I myself use the D7000 with its 16 million pixels. From various independent sources it follows that about 16 million on the DX-format just right. Maybe the D7000 is the optimum in general in the DX format? Is the D7100 ground for specific purposes?

  • Vadyauba

    And I have a bunch of Soviet optics and Pentax. Dances with a tambourine - minimum. Before that there was Nikon, I also liked it. Canon shot, good. Each system DOES NOT have advantages and disadvantages, but FEATURES. We are all different, tasks and requests, preferences and tastes, too.

  • anonym

    Nikon and Canon since the 60s of the last century are an excellent "tool" for reporters, for studio shooting there have been and still exist medium format cameras ...

  • Vadim

    I came to the conclusion that not only Nikon and Kenon are good ... But Pentax and Sony, and other brands, produce high-quality and progressive technology. All this "war" of Kenon-Nikon, far-fetched. It just so happened that there are two powerful systems that are rapidly and efficiently developing, competing with each other. People tend to choose more promising systems, which will continue to delight with new cameras, lenses and other support.
    There would be another powerful brand in production and support, there would be three fan camps.
    Takes a photographer.
    Technique is the second thing. I chose Nikon. But this does not mean that other systems are worse. Subjectively, I like both Kenon and Pentax and Sony ...

  • anonym

    Eh ... It is not we who choose Nikon, Canon, Sony systems ... It is the “systems” that choose us ... And then we are forced to carry out this ritual (upgrade), voluntarily laying out the cu. for new space camera bells and whistles. And behind all such a race, the creative idea of ​​"painting with light" is lost. A person, as a photographer, cannot be “embellished” with any system, but out of his foolishness paints (or blackens) the system. Be blessed and supportive of the photographers and let your “photo brushes” help you create, regardless of their name, which does not change the essence! ..

    • Yuriy75

      Exactly, for example, I don’t care which company the pliers are in my hand if I need to hold something.

  • Igor

    Arkady, please tell me which camera you tested has the widest dynamic range (so that you can painlessly pull light and shadow in LR). If you can a couple of cameras as the DD decreases. Thanks.

  • Lynx

    In general, this comment should have been started first

    An amateur camera is any camera that is filmed by an amateur.
    A professional camera is any camera that is filmed by a professional.
    I'd like to read how artists argue which brushes are better :)
    Arkady, thanks for the next article.
    All good shots.

  • Igor

    In Canon, the battery is ripped apart from the body, and in Nikon - across ... :)

  • Paul

    Another very interesting point: working segments. On Canon, you can put a cheap manual fifty dollars on the thread and still not lose infinity.

  • Dmitriy

    Upon a close inspection of the cameras of both companies, I noticed that NIKON is written in black and white and CANON is written in the other. In my opinion, the difference is obvious, as well as a simple solution to the problem of choice: if you like the letter K-niKon C-Canon :). At the beginning of my hobby, when buying Nikon 50 1: 1.8, we with a sales assistant (!!!) of one of the photo equipment stores tried to attach it to the Canon 5d for 600 minutes! But we must give the guy credit, he was the first to react to our stupidity :)

    I don't know any interesting differences or peculiarities between Nikon \ Canon cameras ... Although everyone chooses a camera for themselves based on their goals.
    I know authors who know how to shoot with phones and simple, non-sophisticated cameras and with the 4/3 system. The most successful photograph was taken by me on a compact ... Sony. Now there is Canon, but ... the ability to see cannot be replaced by any camera or lens.
