Is nikon better then Canon cameras?
It's THAN, not then.
I'd take Pentax over either, but that's just an opinion formed by 30 years of depending on them, and never being let down. Some prefer Sony (used to be Minolta) for the same reason. Every photographer has his own opinion, and - pros apart - the opinion of anyone who can only see Canon and Nikon isn't worth spit.
Unless you want a DSLR (if you don't know what that is, you don't), neither is anything special until you look at Canon's G-series and Nikon's P-series. Both are wonderful, but expensive for what they actually do.
If you're looking at anything up to about $150, you'll just be paying more money for less camera if you buy either.
Yes, no, maybe.
Cameras are tools. The system you choose has more to do with how the camera fits your hands and if the camera system has the lenses you need to shoot your favorite subjects.
I shoot a whole lot of night and indoor sports. For this reason, the sensors in the Nikon cameras I use ability to shoot with little or no noise using high ISO settings is very important.
Only you can determine which brand is best for your style of shooting
Both of them are nice I prefer Nikon.
No. They are both fine brands.
Yes, absolutely and of course not. It depends on what you need out of the camera AND THE SYSTEM THAT YOU"RE BUYING INTO. Take a look at the sidelines of the Super Bowl or the photographer's box at the World Series and you'll see a mixture of white (Canon) and black (Nikon) lenses. In the 1990s you'd see a sea of just white lenses because at that time Canon had a much better focusing system than Nikon. Nikon, at first, didn't have the ability to switch the focusing off at the shutter button and on at a rear focusing button. This meant that if you were focused at the 2nd baseman you had to put the camera into manual focus. If you didn't when the runner slid into 2nd base the Nikon would refocus on the center field wall. So pro sports photographers shooting Nikon were missing shots that the Canon shooters were getting. When Canon introduced their first EOS-1 for the 1988 Olympics, Sports Illustrated tried them out. After their initial trials Sports Illustrated sold off their entire stock of Nikon gear and completely switched to Canon. All because of one little button.
BTW - I would have bought the Nikon D800 because I wanted a DSLR with more than 12MP. But after looking at the Pentax, I decided to go with it. Several years later and I'd do it all over again without question! But that's because the Pentax 645D is doing things in a way not possible with any full-frame DSLR.
Of course not!
They are the two leading camera manufactures and are equal in quality and performance.
Canon users swear by Canon and Nikon users swear by Nikon.
Other makes just as good are also available!
In terms of dSLR's and mirrorless cameras, they are the same. With point-and-shoot and bridge cameras, Canon is more durable and easier to use.
In few years ago i have a photo studio. In thous time i use Nikon FM10 it is imagining and so beautiful photos. So i advise you Nikon is the best.
No shut up. There are many different factors for cameras. I tend to favor Nikons for photography. On the other hand canon does do better video and point and shoots. Pentax is very reliable and sturdy. Everything is is good, cheap and will break in one second or pricey.
It comes down to preference. No manufacturer is better than the other. Camera's in the same price range will perform similar.
