Canon Rebel T2i Vs Nikon D700 - Which One?

Here it is again ... Canon vs. Nikon. But this time we are comparing mid-range digital SLR, Nikon D700, with the entry level model, the Canon Rebel T2i.

This is really weird comparison. This is not an "apples to apples. " After all, these two cameras are usually bought by various stakeholders. Nikon D700 buyers are usually either professional or advanced amateur, while Canon Rebel T2i customers seem more "beginner" category. But it is precisely the reason for this comparison. New Rebel is finding its way into the hands of some serious photographers. And reviews suggest that Rebel 550D (AKA it is) really can not compare with the much more advanced camera than its predecessor.

issues here will be the picture quality, build a camera, video, and, of course, price.

image quality . The first and most important thing a photographer would want from any camera is a great image. Both of these digital wonders submitted in this category. There are two different types of sensors: cheaper Canon sensor is APS-C difference, while more expensive Nikon's full frame sensor. Should only aggravate the benefit of Full Frame. But unless you're one of the geeks who smoke hits the image to the size of aircraft carriers for testing the quality of pixels, you'll have to admit that the picture quality is similar. Nikon D700 will win the battle in low light, but the Canon Rebel T2i kept at least up to ISO 3200, which is very impressive. T2i sensor is 18 megapixels vs. 12 for the D700, which means it could conceivably contain many more images from T2i. However, if you plan to print something close to normal size (mean up to 36 inches), or the model will deliver the goods.

With respect to build cameras , you'll notice a big difference in the way each camera feels in your hand. Canon T2i feels like a toy compared to the Nikon D700. For some, lighter feeling is good, but for others, the extra weight to feel "professional". That being said, T2i not really feel like a toy, if it does not hold the D700 on the other side. And you can increase the "professional" feel by adding a battery grip. In all fairness, though, the Nikon D700 is built to last and it's really well engineered.

OK, let's take a shot at video . Canon T2i receives recognition for the quality of video recording. Not only has improved the quality of video recording, the sound has improved dramatically as well. You can capture video at 1080p and 30 frames per second with stereo sound. external microphone jack is said to even improve this feature more. Nikon D700 has a ways to go copy the video quality of its competitor in this review ... Actually, no video. But if you want a digital SLR without video ...

Finally, price . How about under $ 1000 the Canon Rebel vs about $ 2400 for the Nikon. It is easy enough. You do the math.

Why even compare this camera? It's just ridiculous workout discussions that took place in the photographic community. Nikon-Canon debate will continue until both are. These companies literally dominate in sales to online stores such as Amazon. top ten selling digital SLRs are all made ​​by these two manufacturers.
