>>3229859I have a Canon 700D with a few cheap lenses. Kit lens, 50mm 1.8, 10-18mm wide, 24mm pancake, 8mm Samyang fish eye. Between the camera and lenses, really only about $1000 invested total.
I'm Considering I want to step my game up and get a "real" camera. I'm drawn to Nikon, but before I start dropping serious dosh: am I going to care that much? Am I going to see that much difference?
I know this is a loaded question and at the top level they're probably comparable brands in all but the most minute details. I guess what I want access to in Nikon is some of the older lens compatibility and better low light performance since I seem to shoot at night A LOT more than otherwise (because I have an 8-5 job). Canon seems more accessible (which is why I got what I did - T5i is flexible, more of a "do everything" camera especially when it comes to video, which I will shoot occasionally).
Nikon seems like a superior brand for straight up photography though. Even though Canon is lagging compared to Sony and Panasonic - neither Sony nor Panasonic seems to have even a fraction of the lens ranges that Canon and Nikon have.
I get it that at the end of the day, a good operator would be able to get amazing pics out of the 700D (with the lenses I mentioned). I guess I'm just looking for where to invest since I don't feel committed enough to Canon yet to buy L-lenses.
