If your main camera is a Canon, and your back-up is a Nikon, for instance, you will have trouble switching from one to the other during a shoot, as you’ll get confused, and end up pressing the wrong buttons and menu choices! The reason being that each brand has a different layout and different buttons, and once you have become used to one, it’s quite difficult to switch quickly to another.
Generally, it’s best to choose one brand system and stick to it. Canon DSLR’s are actually used a lot in the film and TV industries in situations where they don’t want to risk their far more expensive filming equipment. Photographers who want to shoot video too tend to choose Canon cameras, because their camera’s video capabilities are of extremely high quality. Sony and Pentax have their fans too, and Sony is fast becoming a serious rival to Canon and Nikon for pro-spec cameras. The two big guns, Canon and Nikon, have almost fanatically loyal fans who swear that their system is the best, but as far as image quality is concerned, there is very little to choose between them.
If this is to be your first camera purchase, you may be wondering which brand of camera is the best. You can get some great entry-level second hand cameras, such as the Canon 40d for around $200 – $300 used, or the Nikon D700 for around $300 – $700. Not everyone wants or can afford to buy brand new cameras, and you can get some good deals if you know what you are looking for. In this article, we’ll be looking at buying used DSLR cameras, and some things to watch out for.
