Canon or Sony - which camera to choose. This question is often asked not only by amateurs-beginners, but also by professionals. After all, these brands of cameras are among the most popular and frequently used. To make the best choice, you must very clearly understand what is the difference between them and what their advantages and disadvantages are,
Canon and Sony cameras can be both digital point-and-shoot cameras and DSLRs. In the first case, we are talking about small cameras designed exclusively for amateur photography. In the second - about cameras that are used for various photographic work.
It should be borne in mind that the quality of modern cameras is at a fairly high level, and you can take high-quality pictures using an amateur camera.
Both Canon cameras and Sony cameras can be roughly divided into 3 groups:
- amateur;
- advanced amateur;
- professional.
Canon cameras
When choosing a Canon brand camera, first of all look at the letters and numbers that indicate which model is in front of you. The smaller the numbers, the more advanced the model, the wider its functionality.
Canon cameras today, even those in the advanced professional category, are powerful. For example, they have a rotary touchscreen display, fast shooting in whole series, excellent video shooting.
In addition, Canon has a fairly good focus. And this allows the camera to cope even with shooting in difficult conditions and at night. As for the video quality, you need to look at the model. Naturally, small soap boxes will shoot much worse than amateur semi-professional cameras.
There are experts who claim that high-quality video shooting with Canon can only be obtained using professional camera models. For amateurs, the mechanism is not adapted for focusing with a raised mirror.
Sony cameras
Sony cameras also come in a wide variety of models. These are small cameras that are used by amateurs, and soap dishes with removable optics, and SLR cameras. Each species has its own advantages. But in general, all of them are distinguished by the high quality of images, the reliability of the device itself and its durability.
Using a Sony camera, experts say, you can bring to life any, even the most daring creative idea.
One of the advantages of Sony's technology for hobbyists is the price of cameras. It is quite democratic and accessible to most of the buyers.
Sony uses the latest technologies such as SmileShutter and improved face focusing to get even better pictures and reduce the chance of crooked smiles and blurry pictures.
It is almost impossible to determine which of the devices - Canon or Sony - is better. After all, they have the same basic functionality: photo and video shooting, timer, red-eye elimination, etc. But each user chooses the nuances for himself. So, for example, if a person is only engaged in photography and does not need video, he will not care that the video quality of an amateur Canona is not very good.
For the most part, each brand has its own fans, and they choose the camera based on their own preferences, without studying the reviews and opinions of others. The only thing they can compare is the technical characteristics of certain models.
