Switching from Nikon to Canon. The reason why was many reasons.

Canon‘s colors I fell in love with the clear crisp colors they in the images. I borrowed a friends Canon Mark iii 2 times and took pictures with it. Her ISO blew my Nikon D800 out of the water the images were much brighter in my studio in the same area and the same settings. I was shocked how bright the images were after I downloaded them. The skin tones were creamier as well and not as blue toned.

I have to say I do NOT like how the camera feels in my hand as far as the buttons. I love how Nikon feels. However my friend was able to set her buttons so that it was the same as Nikon which was a nice option. I can’t say one camera is better than another. Landscape and outside photos Nikon when I shot outside the photos are gorgeous. If I only shot outside photos I won’t care. But for shooting portraits I prefer Canon now that is a few reasons why I am switching. Plus I heard if you get your camera cleaned or fixed it comes back in 5 days.

There are many reasons why I can’t say it was just one reason alone that made me jump from leaving Nikon to Canon. In fact I didn’t want to all. This was many months of looking into and doing a ton of research.

Nikon I LOVE how tack sharp all their lenses are. I can’t say enough about them. I was up till 2:30am last night almost in tears about this decision. I am a super loyal person this decision did not come lightly to me in the least.  I been looking over professional photographers work for years. Do I think the equipment is what makes the photographer better no I don’t. I know for sure without a doubt it’s the talent, skills and hours of work the person spends learning and growing. It has nothing to do with what the price of their lens is costs. You can own an expensive tool in your kitchen to cook a really great dish but that doesn’t mean you know how to cook like an Italian chef at an Italian restaurant who has been working there day in and day out. You hire him because you know his work is amazing. The same goes for why people should hire you.

Look at this straight out of the Canon Mark iii , the skin color is right on. Nikon it would be more blue.

I know you can get the color fixed in Photoshop and in the camera. This was just my choice after shooting with Nikon for many years.  I figure at least give Canon a try at least for a while. I didn’t sell everything yet, I was thinking today that I might keep half of my equipment just in case because I have loved Nikon for so many years just to be safe. So many professional Photographers all over the world love Canon I figure there has to be more reasons then just creamy skin tones. I won’t know until I give them a try. I am going to try Canon for a few months. It’s an investment yes. In life we have to step out and give things a try out of our comfort zone to grow and expand. Why not take a chance. Life is short, I am getting excited about this new adventure. Call me crazy for selling half my Nikon equipment I don’t care.  You only live once. This is a chance to see how the other side “dark side or should I say white side ” since Canon has the white lenses zoom lives.
