I know Canon from a long time ago (GL2), but not Nikon, so I'm not up on the differences. It left much to be desired in terms of white balance in low light. Filmed some naturally lit baptisms in a rural church lobby. It was really tough keeping it looking somewhere between a chicken coop and crack-proof publish washroom blue. Are they still like that?

I only know digital from 2004 to present.

Both Cannon and Nikon are the absolutely BOMB for image quality .. colors, resolution, ISO ... top of the line, both of them.

Cannons images are noticeably cooler than Nikons .. no biggy, if you know how to properly/evenly adjust in PS.

Cannons are sharper out of the camera (hence Cannon is the choice of most news photogs) than Nikons .. but, again, no biggy if you know how to properly sharpen an image.

Cannons are most notably used for action/pap/news photography .. Nikons are mostly used for studio work.

Nikon lenses are better (most times they are significantly better).

Glass is king .. so I prefer Nikon. Plus, I like vivid warm colors, and I know how to use PhotoShop properly to get exactly what I want.

Double checking... Yup, "Canon" is still with one 'n'. Also, I mean "film" the verb, not the media, as in motion picture. I can GIMP the stills, but video's more of a pain, especially since I didn't have any budget authority at that church (despite asking for three years.)

Sorry. I'm an engineer .. spelling is not my strong suit.
