better. I bet both are great and it is more of a question of\u00a0whether\u00a0you are more a nikon type or a canon type.<\/div>\n<div>Personally I am a nikon one. But my &#8220;traditional&#8221; camera was a canon, an A1 which I love and I still have.<\/div>\n<div>I went for nikon because I liked the grip and how it feels in your hand. For the way the menus are done so you can reach any function without having to go to a million screens, mostly with physical buttons. But I like canon, and I have always loved how good it performed in low light conditions&#8230;. but these to cameras&#8230; well they are good\u00a0enough, so I believe it is a question of taste and&#8230; maths&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>You can say, they cost the same but that would be short sighted. We have to compare what would cost a full set of camera plus lenses, so this is why I am writing this.<em> (prices are in Swiss Francs and I have use <a href=\"http:\/\/toppreise.ch\" target=\"_blank\">toppreise<\/a> to get them):<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>[table id=5 \/]<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So even if initially when buying the bodies it appears that canon is cheaper, at the end of the day, when you build your ecosystem it ends up costing a bit more.<\/div>\n<div>Both are around 9000 CHF&#8230; so it is a serious investment. Unless you go for a travel zoom such as the 28-300 with costs 800 chf and then the 14-24. That would cover the same range at the cost (for nikon) of 5.851 chf&#8230;<\/div>\n<div>I keep my iPhone and my d300 for the time being&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thinking about going full frame (FX)?
