Cannon or Nikon

[DisneyFanatic13]

Hey guys! Which camera brand is better? A Cannon or a Nikon.

We are huge Canon fans in this house. All of the camera equipment my husband uses in his sports photography business is Canon, and he has had great success with it. If you want specifics why, I will ask him to post something here for you =)

If you give me specifics why, then I probably won't understand it. And I have a Cannon PowerShot SD 306 6.0 Megapixles. And I tried a Nikon, and the flash takes a while, and the picture quality isn't really great. Can you give specifics please? That would be great!

Hi, this is Piglet's husband. With Canon, the prime lenses (the "L" series"--the professional lenses) are sharper and focus faster than Nikon. All Canon lenses focus faster--period. Your camera is a point and shoot--you will need to go to a SLR for better quality shots. Hope this helps you =)

What is SLR?

[Piglet]

SLR means single-lens reflex.
