Nikon vs Canon? Can't decide which to buy?

I've wanted to get a Canon camera for a while but now I'm thinking about Nikon… It. Between
Canon EOS 7D- digital camera
or
Nikon D90- digital camera

WHICH ONE I NEED TO KNOW SOON MY BDAY IS DECEMBER 4TH!

We really can't tell you which one to buy, but we can point out that the camera that is closest to the Canon 7D would be the Nikon D7000 performance wise and the Nikon D300s when it comes to being robust.

If you are in a quandary of which to buy, that tells us that it may be years before you could actually tell any minute differences in performance.

Here is how those cameras sensors compare.

As you can see that the Nikon D7000 sensor out performs the other two, the much older D90 coming in second

I'm no expert, just want to give this one little information here:

I have a Nikon myself, but if you plan on using old lenses ( Save money & be cool ), like those with M42 screw mount ( You can get them for as low as 20$ sometimes ), take a Canon, because with Nikon it is more difficult - you need to get a special adapter for 50$ and lose a bit of quality. With Canon, you simply buy an adapter ring for 3$ off ebay or something.

Both Canon and Nikon make nice cameras and lenses. It has more to do with YOUR ability to use what you have.

I don't recommend one brand over the other. I DO recommend that you visit an actual camera shop (not bestbuy/walmart) and try the different brands/models within your budget to see which feels best in your hands with controls that you can easily find/use. I chose Canon for its ergonomics/menu & control layout and a fellow photog chose Nikon for the same reasons.

The one thing to remember is to budget in extra money to cover an extra battery, memory cards, camera case, a USB memory card reader, and taxes (these can add another $200-$250 to the camera price).

Also, most camera shops offer free beginner camera/photography classes (and free prints) when you buy a camera there.

A few of things I tell people:

1) Photography is roughly 70% photographer skill/experience, 20% lens quality, and 10% camera body
2) A professional with an entry level camera can take better photos than an amateur with a professional grade camera
3) I would rather have a $600 camera with a $1, 500 lens than I would an $1, 800 camera with a $300 lens

If you are at all interested in using you DSLR for film, I would go with Canon, as they are a much more experienced company in that department. Many indie filmakers use the 7D.

You're looking at two relatively expensive models, perhaps you're the only one who can tell if you need 8fps on the 7D?

D90 is discontinued and is 3 years old. 7D is much better, but you should also look at Canon EOS 60D as it uses the same sensor and is still better than the D90.
