Which camera make is better. Nikon or Canon?

I wish to shoot high quality photos, I'm planning on buying a Digital SLR price range up to $1500., but I don't have a clue which ones are best…

Nikon! I debated with this topic myself and i went with Nikon and i'm really glad i chose it because it is way better then canon my friend's who have cannon cameras are all jealous of mine!

Canon - It's just better quality.

Brand doesn't matter. Get whatever fits in your budget and has the features you need. As long as you know how to use your camera, you'll take high quality photos regardless of which one you use.
The Canon 60D and Nikon D7000 are in your range. If you're having trouble deciding between the two, try both of them out at a local camera store. See which camera fits more comfortably in your hands.

It all comes down to personal preference in the end anyway.

This debate is never over! But one thing should make your eyes open!

Look at the 2010 Forbes most valuable brand and you will see Canon is at no.39 while Nikon is not even in Top 50.http://www.batteryer.com/blog/2010/07/2010-forbes-list-of-global-value-brand/

This should give you some idea which brand is really the best. Don't listen to Nikon fanboys look at the fact!

Dear jonny. I guess you didn't read the JD Powers Consumer Satisfaction survey for DSLRs, heh?

OK, here's the bottomline. BOTH makers have professional camera for the pro photographer, and entry level DSLR's for the novice. The quality of the "high quality photos" you wish to capture will not be limited by either. I shoot Nikon, as do many photojournalists. Others shoot Canon, very popular among the sportsphotographers. Nikon wins some awards, Canon wins others. Weddings? National Geographic? Choose your week and find different "winners".

That doesn't really matter. What really counts is how each camera feels in YOUR hands and how it feels when you try the controls and menus. Which camera suits you? It's like choosing cars and shoes. Get the one that's in your price-range, comfortable, and does what you want. Period.

At the top of your price range, you'll find the Nikon D7000 or the Canon EOS 60D. Here's a couple of detail reviews for your information.

Both and neither. There's simply no winner as both have their flaws and also both have their advantages. They are also both really rather similar. It's like asking what is better, Mercedes or BMW? Neither is markedly better than the other.

On the other hand a Hasselblad is like a a Bugatti Veyron, and a Leica is a Rolls Royce.

Neither - both manufacturers make a range of cameras from basic entry level models up to pro levels, with very similar features & performance at the equivalent price levels.

I would suggest that you make a list of DSLR's that fit in with your budget and have the features you want (and don't rule out other makes as well - Olympus, Sony & Pentax) then visit a proper camera shop & try out half a dozen different models. Feel which is right for YOU - check out menu features, button options & accessibility and feel the weight & balance in your hand. Only then will you be able to decide properly.
