What are the differences between Nikon and Canon s consumer grade cameras, image quality, color, sty

The most important thing in portrait shooting is to highlight the subject, which requires control of the depth of field. F2 or even this wide aperture or even a very large aperture provides the best depth of field control and creates the softest bokeh possible. The second is the focal length segment covered by the camera's lens, and according to common sense, the larger the aperture, the longer the focal length, and the shallower the depth of field.

Therefore, the mid-focal length of 85mm-135mm is the most suitable focal length for portraits.

It is difficult for general consumer DCs to meet the first requirement, and the second requirement can be achieved through simple operations, so I can only tell you that they are all about the same. If you have to get good results, you can consider the Canon Quasi-Pro G9From workmanship to performance, it has met the requirements of quasi-professionalism, and the budget is tight, so you can choose A650 - a simplified version of G9.

PS: At the time you said, consumer DC was not as crazy as it is now. At this time and then, now the update speed of DC is amazing, Canon Nikon, launching a new product, all targeted.

If you say that difference, it's a big failure, and Canon Nikon may have a relative failure, but it's an exception.

I add a little bit.

In terms of color, the Canon is on the lighter side and more natural, so the portraits are soft.

Nikon's colors tend to be greenish, so the scenery is better.

But this is also the general situation, depending on the camera model.

It's your own camera that doesn't know how to use Ricoh.,It's better to ignore the existence of the R series if you don't know PS.。。。

Consumer-grade cameras are pretty much the same.

Can't tell the difference between a landscape camera and a portrait camera.

In a word, it's all a fool's machine.

Buy whichever you like.

It doesn't matter if others think it's bad for what you like.

1. The image quality options and their significance for Nikon's entry-level models are explained as follows:

1、nef（raw）。This storage format is called the Raw Information Lossless Record Format. What is recorded is raw unprocessed image information from the sensor.

The image information recorded in this storage format is almost not lost, but it takes up a relatively large amount of storage space. Files in this storage format can be heavily processed with specific post-processing software (such as ViewNX2, NX2 or Light and Shadow Catcher). Accurate white balance, rich layers, beautiful colors of high quality**.

2. JPEG fine (fine). A file with fine image quality recorded in a general-purpose ** format (JPG format) with a compression ratio of approximately 1:4. Files of this quality take up a lot of storage space.

3. JPEG General (norm). A general-quality file in a general-purpose ** format recorded at a compression ratio of approximately 1:8. Files of this quality take up less space and there is a noticeable loss of image detail.

4. JPEG Basic. A lower-quality file in a generic ** format recorded at a compression ratio of approximately 1:16. This quality of file takes up minimal space, and the loss of image detail is extremely noticeable.

In addition, there is a dual record of NEF and JPEG files

5. NEF+JPEG fine.

6. NEF+JPEG is general.

7. NEF+JPEG basic.

2. The image quality selection of Nikon's high-end SLR cameras also includes (the same part as the entry-level camera is omitted):

1. TIFF (RGB) format. This is a high-quality image recording format that records uncompressed TIFF (RGB) images at 8 bits per channel (24-bit color). The format is also a general-purpose image format and can be widely used.

This format takes up a lot of storage space.

2. The option of byte length in NEF format is divided into 12 bits and 14 bits. The low-end and mid-range models default to 12-bit recording, and the file size of 14-bit recording takes up more storage space and the color data recorded is significantly increased.

Third, the selection principle of image quality. In view of the extremely low level of memory cards at present, it is common for the storage capacity to reach more than 32G, so photographers should try to choose the best quality storage format to store ** files, so as to leave room for future post-processing. Senior photographers generally use the NEF format, which does not need to consider the white balance settings when shooting, and can be greatly adjusted and calibrated in post-production.

The loss of image detail in the JPG format** after a large compression is irreversible, so if you want to choose JPG format storage, you should try to choose fine quality storage.

First, the saturation is different.

1. Canon: Warms the skin tone and makes the color more harmonious.

2. Nikon: The skin tone is gray and white, and the saturation of warm colors is low.

Second, the brightness is different.

1. Canon: The brightness of Canon cameras is higher than that of Nikon.

2. Nikon: The brightness of Nikon cameras is lower than that of Canon.

Third, the color contrast is different.

1. Canon: The contrast effect feels generous, solemn, elegant and modern, but it is also prone to a sense of monotony that is too plain.

2. Nikon: When the non-colored area is large, it is more elegant and solemn, and the sense of liveliness is strengthened when the colored area is large.

Nikon's colors are more realistic, in other words, the shooting of people will be yellow.

Asians are inherently yellow**.

Canon has a cooler color, so it's not as yellow.

But if you shoot RAW format for post-production.

There is no difference in color.

Nikon has a slight advantage in forgiveness.

Bottom line: For novices, figure is convenient with Canon, figure quality, with Nikon.
