At first glance, the two chambers of Canon EOS 50D and the Nikon D90, the machines are really attractive for any fan and it seems they wanted to surprise, including details and features the latest generation. Without doubt, represent an incentive for those who seek the ultimate (though many are happy to see that previous models lowered their prices; speaks Canon 40D and the Nikon D80).
Let us see the advantages of both machines:
* Sensors. There is no doubt the two Japanese manufacturers have sought to integrate the latest generation sensors. In the case of Canon, it is a 15.1-megapixel CMOS and 12.3 megapixel Nikon, both are APS-C. Few difference, Canon offers the highest resolution, but these dimensions is not a figure of the definition of better quality.
* However, greater importance was the type of processor. The recent IV DIGIC Canon and Nikon as usual EXPE. It seems that Canon has sought to give an additional quality to this process very large number of pixels, with the last generation able to greatly reduce noise at high ISO values. On a comprehensive test is where you notice the difference, because the Nikon is the same model that incorporates higher (D300 and D3).
* Both devices have auto cleaning sensor forced something today, HDMI (something that starts to spread), in addition to incorporating a 3-inch LCD screen with the same resolution (920,000 pixels). Both screens also show the display system in real time by cons. These are the parameters that make them similar to the maximum.
* Speed shooting. Here are the Canon 50D takes advantage. It can reach up to 6.3 fps and the Nikon D90 reached 4.5 fps. It is clear that Canon is faster, so it is more appropriate for sports or wildlife photography, for example. And with these values is placed on his rival.
* Focus. The Nikon includes 11 points or areas for priority action in relation to 9 on a cross from Canon. We would certainly try to detail, whether to have somewhere addition, improving the approach or what is faster.
* Regarding the size and weight of the body is also similar. The Canon has a slightly higher dimensions and weight (without the battery or card) of 730 grams compared to 620 grams of Nikon. For what is a little light (no goals).
* Regarding the battery, according to initial indications, it seems that Nikon took the palm, with a maximum capacity of 850 shots, compared to 640 of its competitor. These characteristics are very subjective, but a priori Nikon batteries have greater capacity.
* ISO. Nor are a significant number because it depends on the quality of the image, but the Canon is able to help us achieve the 3,200 and 12,800 forced mode. For its part, Nikon arrives from 200 to 3200 (and forced 6,400). In any event, it seems that the sensor and Canon’s latest processor achieves low noise levels at high sensitivity in a very satisfactory. Again a comparison test to help us choose in this aspect, but Canon seems to be more at risk (is it because they know that their quality in this area?).
* Memory Cards. Here differ both manufacturers. Canon continues with the usual Compact Flash cards and the possibility for the version with UDMA fast. For its part, Nikon, as it did in the D60, uses SD cards and SDHC (also in charge of the Eye-Fi), a wager on this model supports more widespread (which are used almost all compact) and whose prices are slightly lower (with little difference with CF in some models).
* Video recording. This is undoubtedly the great advantage of Nikon. The D90 is the first of its range to include the possibility of video recording, a defendant so far little use for users of reflex, but could be extended in a short period of time, if it manages to succeed . It is capable of capturing moving images on HD until 1.280×720 pixels at 24 frames per second. A novelty to be taken into account and which opens up new opportunities that will attract many fans to digital imaging.
So do we choose Canon EOS 50d or Nikon D90?
As can be seen, it becomes a very difficult choice based on their technical specifications, because these are two models with advanced functions and very similar. The main advantages of the Canon 50D would be speed, which includes the possibility of shooting in RAW (sRAW-1 and sRAW-2), but with less resolution, so that generated files take up less space . In addition to having the highest ISO sensitivity, and his body magnesium alloy resistant and protects against atmospheric agents (small splashes and dust) for its seal on the battery cover and map.
Regarding the Nikon, it could highlight its battery lasting a little light for an advanced model, the ability to record video and incorporates a GPS system which is offered as an option.
Two reflex complete for those who require the most, with the latest technology, will ensure that those who are reluctant to ask for a device of this range. While it is undeniable that Nikon was more risky to include video recording, perhaps looking for new users to whom they can be useful for this possibility. Although the model it replaces, the D80 took some time on the market, with the Canon 40D, with barely a year and remains an attractive option.
