Nikon or Canon. For Cinematography?
Which brand will provide me the best cinema expirience?
Canon Nikon is the most widely used by professional photographers. Canon is used by consumers… Who like to have professional looking photos. ) For cinematography, you should use a camcorder,
which brings in a number of other good brands to consider,
Panasonic and Sony being the principal ones. Neither.
However, if you have the skills necessary to shoot a filmatic story, it really does not matter what camera you use, as long as it is video capable.
The cost of making a digital SLR into a viable video camera, you need a whole lot of additional accessories to put together a "video camera rig". These rigs can cost from $2,000 and way up past that. My Nikon D500 can shoot in 4k video, however just the Atomos Shogun 4K HDMI recorder costs $1,500. Add the camera rig with external sound recorder and 500 gb SSD and soon I could have purchased an actual video camera, one with 3-CCD's or 3MOS sensors, Genlock, timecoding, variable shutters, some with interchangeable lenses and much more.
For that reason, whenever I'm given a script to shoot, I rent a video camera, one that would cost over $50,000 if I were to buy it. The client pays for the rental of the camera, lenses, camera mounting devices (top hats, tripods, cranes, etc), lighting and sound recording equipment as well as all the post production costs (video editing booth and video editor)
Sure, with all the knowledge necessary to produce a cinematic video, you can produce a brilliant video, but again, that does NOT depend upon the camera brand you buy --- see the link below
