I'm a Nikon 5700 user and am trying to figure out which direction, Canon/Nikon, I want to go when I purchase a dslr (hopefully around the holidays). I've been waffling a bit recently. I was in love with the specs of the 1D Mk2, but I just can't justify the $4500 price tag for the body.

I'm really looking forward to the next generation of mid-range cameras--the replacements for the 10D and D100, but I think that each manufacturer has characteristics that will carry over into the next generation. I've read a lot about the differences between the "smoother/plastic" Canon images and the "more detailed/more noise" Nikon images and I really don't have an preference yet. What I would like is to see if there are people out there shooting landscapes and macros that might be similar to what I typically shoot and then see which images I find more appealing.

So, anyone that has a landscape/macro gallery that they're proud of from their 10D or D100, I'd appreciate it if you could post a link to it so I could take a look.

Macro and landscape. Most D70, some Hasselblad, and 4x5 film. Enjoy.

Actually, what I'm really looking for is to see if there IS a difference. The Nikon guys are always saying the Canon photos are soft, lack details, look plastic, etc. I'm trying to see if there are any characteristics to either system--and I mean total system, body, lenses, etc.--that might sway me one way or the other.

I fully admit that the photographer is the most important element behind a good photo, and processing has a lot to do with it. However, my suspicion is that if I see enough Canon galleries and enough Nikon galleries, I may be able to find some distinguishing characteristics which will help my decision.

Hi Todd,

Here are some recent macros with my D100. The camera has more to give than I know how to ask for :)

Todd:

I have really enjoyed my D100. I have shot over 30,000 images since Dec 2002, and I still get excited when I pick up my camera.

You can check out some of my landscape work here:

Thanks Todd. To be fair, I think any of the current dSLRs can give excellent results. You will find people in all camps producing wonderful images, and also people with the high end gear producing snapshots.

If you can, go to a store and try them out. I bet one will feel just right, and that is the one you should buy. Just be prepared to spend a small fortune on lenses :)

Todd,

I am still learning this digital stuff but here are a couple of links of some of the stuff I have shot with the D100. The bottom row of the Illinois Gallery was shot with the D100 and all of Gallery II was shot with the D100. See link here: http://www.clgphotos.com/Gallery1/ColorGallery1/index.htm

At this link just about all the landscape photos were taken with the D100 and all the animal photos with the D2h. http://www.clgphotos.com/Gallery2/index.htm

Like I said I’m still learning but the D100 is a great camera and is more forgiving if you underexpose then the D2h. I can’t compare Nikon and Canon. I have never shot with Canon and doubt that I ever will.

I'm not sure if this helps, but I have a pretty substantial gallery of macro shots taken with my D1X. It's not a D100, but it is a Nikon DSLR...

There are also differences in the features and function of the different camera systems, and in the lens lineup from each vendor. Canon has more IS (Image Stabilization) lenses than Nikon has VR (Vibration reduction) for example.

Thom Hogan did reviews of both the 300D and D100 recently. Here's links to both:

http://www.bythom.com/300D.htm
http://www.bythom.com/D70REVIEW.HTM

The Canon 300D review has a fair amount of text comparing the two cameras.
