Canon is rumored to be launching two DSLR cameras, the EOS 200D and Canon EOS 6D Mark II. There are also rumors of the main competitor, Nikon will launch the D850 or D820, and Nikon D760, which is a full-frame professional camera. 

This is the hottest news for Nikon lovers around the world, even moderate factions who are not affected by the Canon VS competition. Nikon, will probably pay attention to what Nikon can offer to the D760 and Nikon D850. Is there a significant difference with full-frame cameras, both Canon and Nikon manufactured such as the Nikon D810.

As quoted from cameraegg.com famous site, letsgodigital.com, it is rumored that Nikon D850’s sensor will have two options, one is Sony’s 42.4MP full frame sensor (Same sensor on a7R II), the other will be a new 50MP full frame sensor. And Nikon D850 will have 4K video recording and advanced AF system. While Nikon D760 is expected to arrive even prior to the Nikon D850, both camera could be announced this month.

When we talk about Nikon's full-frame cameras whose specifications are higher than the D760, it turns out there's a rumor that Nikon is not going to name its high-end full-frame cameras with the D850's name, but will be called the Nikon D820. Apart from this latest camera naming problem, you may need to know the whispers on the Internet about the specifications of the D850 or D820, ie as reported by newsledge.com, as follows:

• The rumored announcement date is slated for the summer. Maybe it’s Nikon’s true 100th anniversary, though I’m holding out hope for a pro mirrorless system.
• Most likely it will be called D820 (D850 is still a possibility)
• Nikon is already planning the marketing material for the new camera
• The sensor will be between 45-46MP.
• The D820 is expected to be better at low and high ISO compared to Canon and better than the D810
• The D820 could come with a new and improved version of SnapBridge. That’ll be a relief and will have to be one hell of an advancement.
• No built-in GPS
• Tiltable LCD screen
• The memory card slots will be the same as in the D500: one SD and one XQD
• AF system will borrow the system used in the Nikon D5.

If we look at speculation about the specifications described above, it appears that the D820 is a blend of several features and technologies that you can find on Nikon D5 and D500. Will the design and specifications in this new camera will perfect the existing system on the full-frame camera that has been launched earlier? We will know the details after Nikon released the official announcement before its launch.

The D820 or Nikon D850 is planned to replace the D810, which has an interesting specification. If it is still sold in the nearest camera store in your city or in an online store, then you can get an attractive price, especially if the replacement has been officially launched. There is a chance you will get a tempting package like the best memory card with a large capacity, maybe even a package with zoom lens. Why not?

Canon vs Nikon: fact and myths

Canon vs Nikon: fact and myths

By   12:28 AM   No comments:

When a novice photographer will choose his first DSLR camera, then there is a sense of confusion, whether to choose Nikon or Canon? There is a wide range of information already received the new photographer from other photographers about the differences Canon and Nikon cameras. As it turned out, the information is not all based on facts, but some of the myths that could ultimately affect the photographer before taking a decision. I also had an experience that is almost the same.

But I was lucky because I also have a Nikon and Canon cameras, even before the two renowned companies have launched their digital cameras. I really enjoyed using analog SLR cameras, both Canon and Nikon. I saw the pictures produced by both cameras, both when I use to make a portrait, landscape photography, macro photos and action shots.

I was satisfied with analog SLR cameras, both Nikon and Canon. Similarly, when I use their DSLR series. According to my friends, when judging the beauty of a photograph is often due to the subjective assessment. Of course, the jury can examine the photos and provide technical assessment according to the science of photography, say scientifically.

There are some myths that may affect you when buying a DSLR camera, is it better to choose a Canon or Nikon? Canon DSLR rumored that if the only suitable for use to make pictures in the studio such as portraits, pre-wedding photo, photographing the models, so the Canon cameras are not so suitable when used outdoors. Nikon also very nice reportedly used for making photographs of landscapes, photographing evidence of criminal events in the scene (CSI). Nikon DSLR is also widely used by the photojournalist.

However, if you watch a football match, racing F1 or Moto GP, and other action sports, you will also see the sports journalists, both of which carry the Canon and Nikon cameras. 

You will also be fascinated by their appearance with a variety of zoom lens or telephoto lens in white or black. The budding photographer must have envied the action of the photojournalist in the sports field.

At the press conference held by politicians or celebrities, you also witnessed a similar scene, where the gossip reporters or other journalists who photographed the press conference with the various versions of professional cameras manufactured by Nikon or Canon. However, it is not always a professional camera or a full-frame camera that you see, was among the reporters, some are using entry-level DSLR cameras, both Canon and Nikon. Perhaps the news agency they have not had the funds to buy them a high-end camera. However, once again the price of the camera is not the main factor to create brilliant photographs. The man behind the camera, that's what counts in the world of photography.

Canon sample image. Image: Putu Agung Wija Putera

If we go back to the myth of the Canon cameras are better used indoors, the fact is that in various photo contests, it was the champion who won the photo contest are those who use digital SLR cameras manufactured by Canon. 

The subjects of their photos include street photography, landscapes, action shots, and of course the portrait of a human or animal. Similarly, the myth of Nikon were definitely very good for landscape photos or outer space, there are many pre-wedding photographs, shooting in the photo studio and other events, was very much the use of DSLR cameras manufactured by Nikon. At various championships or photo competition, you will also watch superb pictures produced from Nikon cameras.

With the rapid advancement of technology in the world of photography, all the myths that can be refuted by the experience and expertise of the photographer. Additionally, you can fix a photo re-touch or use special software for photo editing, you can even maximize the in-camera editing, without having to use a computer with software that is expensive.

There are a lot of facts and myths about Nikon and Canon, but you are the main controllers of your camera. Make sure you master your camera by always practicing, hunting photos to new places anywhere, discussions with professional photographers in the photography forum, such as online forums on the Internet or join the photography club. You can certainly find a special club or clubs Canon or Nikon camera brand that does not differentiate you. Sign up on photo contest local, national or international is also the best opportunity to eliminate shadows of myths have you heard lately.
