Nikon is totally crap camera I had Nikon CoolPix 10mp point and shoot camera and almost all of the pictures I took with that camera were blurry and after one month of use the dead pixels started appearing in the lcd, I sold nikon for 90 dollar, the actual price for which i bought the camera was 150
Recently I bought a Canon Vixia Camcorder it take 3 mp still pictures. I was amazed after I downloaded the picture from the camcorder to my pc. Picture of canon’s 3mp camera are far better than Nikon’s 10mp. The picture what I have taken with canon’s 3MP camera, I could see my finger prints on the glass. While pictures what I took with Nikon Sh**t were barely clear. My camcorder’s picture inspired me to the extant that I order canon eos rebel xsi. Go to the http://www.imaging-resource.com/DIGCAM01.HTM and watch the pictures tests of canon vs nikon, you will find canon is the best and specially XSI is better than its big brother T1i. Don’t be fool by the 6400 iso of nikon the higher I iso goes up the blurry the pictures becomes. I bet canon’s 3200 ISO can beat Nikon’s 6400. And who the hell takes picture in dark out of light night? Every camera has flash. So why go for high ISO. And above all canon is compatible with more lenses than Nikon. Canon has its own more than 50 lenses available for their EOS, while on the other hand nikon is support by only 30 or more. So stop eating your brain and Buy canon EOS Rebel XSI or if your are rich buy canon 50d which is best of the best.

I used a Brownie box camera until Gumby sat on it and drowned it in root. Does that make any sense to any of you?

Did you use any of the in camera noise reduction settings on those shots, or are they with high iso noise reduction off?

Both are good cameras, particularly for the price, and you can’t go wrong with either of them. I own a Nikon D5000 myself, mainly because of a promotion which included a 55-200mm lens for the same price as the kit (18-55mm) and so far I’m very happy with it. As someone stated above, chose a camera that feels comfortable in your hand.

the comparison seems biased as he stated that he owns canon and will always love canon..i’d still look for other reviews rather than stick to 1.
just think abt the sensors between these dslrs,overall features included,fps and other stuff. the d5000 still competes with the new t2i and still can’t be beat by performance…after all no matter what dslr you have it’s all abt the shooter..even if you have a d3x or a mark ii if you shoot with Auto doesn’t make you a professional photographer but a dslr owner.

if you really want to see samples.. check flickr search the camera and look for sample images from both cameras from both types of photogs.

Thanks, the comparisons were interesting. Both cameras performed quite well, but with obvious differences on close inspection.
The Nikon rose is closer and is out of focus. The colours of the Nikon photo are MUCH better than the Canon. I think the photo suffers here from being hand held at this range, or is it a fault of the auto focus? The Canon shot is better in focus but is shot slightly further away – hence the better focus? Makes it hard to compare. The colours of the Canon photo are too yellow/orange and dismal. Both photos have their problems. IF the Nikon photo was in focus it would win the game hands down for correct white balance, better colour and overall picture quality.

When at all possible, all shots taken with a DSLR (or film SLR) the camera should be mounted on a sturdy tripod for best results. If you aren’t picky as a neophyte photographer, then buy a high end (Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Panasonic, Sony) hand-held point and shoot camera.

What a busy forum! At the end of the day it’s your photographic eye that determines your pix. We spent hours agonizing which camera does better, passing by the hundreds of images we should have taken.

I am a contributor to an inflight magazine of Indonesia’s largest airline, and honestly I am amazed at how a simple 3MP iPhone 3GS could produce very decent images that my pals couldn’t believe it was It’s drawback is only the highlights area are easily blown away, but if you can avoid high contrast scenes, you really can produce photos BETTER than any of these 2 great contestants with comparable results.

One other consideration is the EASE of USE and interface that will help us making fast decisions.

I had seen CANON Took over NIKON’s leadership for the last decade, but with the D300, things started to change. The D90′s arrival confirmed their comeback, and the pro D3X seemed to succeed in winning over the NOISE issue.
But, uniquely, CANON’s G series still won over Nikon’s COOLPIXES..

If I used a D5000 and am very happy with it, it’s because traditionally I started with it, and although almost converted to Canon when Nikon lost their leadership, was halted by the D90′s arrival, making me return to Nikon. I felt comfortable with their results, the ease of menus and the overall feel and design, which of course is personal -

But let’s not stop to argue which camera to choose, it’s your mind which is the MOST IMPORTANT ASSETT to produce a picture.

A simple iPhone can do the job, a complex DSLR can produce a so-so pix, all determined by how you look at and capture the world..
