I’m a Nikon guy because my Uncle (professional photographer for 30+ years) and my father (Professional photographer for about ~20 years) both used and loved Nikons. Granted this was in the day of 35mm film, but because of that I have remained true to Nikons and especially after having used my Uncles D700? (Not sure what it is, not a 7000… but it has a 7 in it IIRC) > > I have used both Nikons and **Cannons** , and its more about feel and user interface and features. > > Either camera in the same class with a professional photographer will for the most part perform the same, some things and setting and conditions may differ for each camera but it all seems pretty standard these days. > > Matt, get a **cannon** IIRC the price for a **cannon** that also takes good video is considerably less then a Nikon… To lazy to look right now, but last I looked pretty sure you couldent find a Nikon that takes HD video for less then ~1100 I’ve never used a “cannon” (well, maybe a potato cannon) but I have used a Canon. I have nothing bad to say about them at all, I even have an ancient miniDV cam thats a Canon and it always worked great. I have little to no experience with SLR cameras so I’ll remain mute on the subject otherwise. KTHX. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/camera-gurus/258792)._
