Canon 7D VS Nikon 300s
Canon and Nikon have been rivals in optics for the longest time, earning them the top and second spot interchangeably over the years. When one comes out with a new addition to the family, it is no surprise when the other brands come up with their brand counterpart of that. Like for example when Canon introduced the EOS 40D digital SLR, Nikon struck back with a combo with the introduction of the D3 and D300 digital SLRs. So now that Nikon has come out with their new Nikon 300s digital SLR, Canon won’t let the opportunity pass without striking back, hence the introduction of their answer to Nikon’s 300s digital SLR-the Canon 7D digital SLR, which makes comparing the two big time cameras relatively easy.
Both are in the same price range-the Nikon 300s digital SLR retailing at $1,800.00 while the release price of the Canon 7D digital SLR is about $1,700.00. Which of these two cameras are better, you may wonder, so let’s take a closer look at each of them to help you decide.
The Canon 7D digital SLR boasts of an incredible resolution of 18 megapixels APS-C CMOS sensor. It can continually shoot 8 frames per second, it is equipped with a 1,080p DD video recording that has manual controls, a wide 3.0 inch Clear View II LCD screen with 920,000 dots, an all cross type 19-point AF system with dedicated processor, 1.0 magnification, wireless flash control, a 100 percent coverage view finder and environmental sealing which means that it is most durable and can be used at any weather condition. The Canon 7D digital SLR also features native sensitivity settings of ISO 100-6400 and is expandable to ISO 12800 equivalent.
On the other hand, the Nikon 300s digital SLR has key features that include a 12.3 megapixel resolution, a 7 frames per second continuous shooting, a large 3.0 inch VGA LCD approximately 920,000K dots, a dust reduction system and sensor cleaning. The Nikon 300s also features native settings of ISO 200-3200 and has both low and high expansions to cover the equivalent of ISO 100 and ISO 6400. It is also movie recording capable.
So having read about each one of these two rivals’ specifications, which do you think would you personally go for? While the Canon 7D digital SLR produces higher image quality and has a faster shutter speed, the Nikon 300s is equally packed with as many useful features plus it is movie recording capable.
