[QUOTE="Stanley, post: 1183076, member: 118270"] Nikon is sort of the Apple of DSLR cameras in some ways. A purer vision in focus. Nikon is kind of a camera and chip making equipment only company. Lots of scientists and engineers work there. Techies. Sony is a big consumer products company. Canon makes lots of other things like printers and fax machines and big copying machines. NASA takes Nikon into space all the time. I started out using Canons due to the hype on dpreview. Shot thousands and thousands of images per month. Then I change over to Nikon as they are just layed out better for my purposes. Canon is very marketing oriented. Their big company award day is on Pearl Harbor day BTW. They came out with white lenses and gave many to sports pros so they could be seen using Canons at a distance. Now there are tons more Nikons out there too. I just found Nikon to be a more serious company for photography. And check out CaptureNX…it is easier to use than any other program for complicated image changes. Look at their tutorial videos. Things that would take many layers and steps in Photoshop you just do intuitively by clicking on the photo where it needs changes like zipping up a blue sky or something like that. And you can get event photography nailed with the same "look" from all of the cameras you use using CaptureNX. You can even get the same look out of ancient Nikon raw images (NEF) using NX, so that they match the latest equipment…and with no real effort. Worrying about an articulating screen? In a few months of serious DSLR use you'll look back and laugh at the notion. [/QUOTE]
