Nikon is a brand in their own league, they are very innovative as a company. Here are 3 fun facts about Nikon: The Nikon F Mount has been out there since 1959, and its still the same mount used on their modern DSLR systems. Nikon cameras are used by NASA to capture images of space and aerial images of earth. The Nikon Z9 has been chosen to go to space in 2027 just like how the Nikon D3s was chosen to go onboard the ISS in the mid-to-late 2000s. In the 1960s, Nikon brought us the first underwater SLR camera.

Switched as a life-long Sony user to Nikon and honestly loving it. Menu system is so much better, Sony ergonomics suck, and Nikon RAW colors are unbeatable in the bracket. I miss my Sony sometimes especially for portraits (which I rarely do nowadays anyways) but there's times I regret it sure. There's really no competition with Nikons new Z-mount S lenses either, they're just too sharp for the value you're paying. You really cant go wrong nowadays with any mirrorless camera.

[@sparkeyjames]

You must not be very old. Sony's been making DSLR's since 2006. Nikon and Canon DSLR's predate Sony's entry to that market by 6 years. Nikon has been making cameras since the the mid 1940's if not earlier. Canon started making cameras a little earlier in the mid 1930's.

[@MultiSciGeek]

Same. Except for video, Nikon is great ngl!

[@orfibous]

@@sparkeyjames As stated in the videom Nikon (originally Nippon Kogaku K.K) started making cameras (for military use) in 1927, while it was making optics, (mostly for military and laboratory use) since 1917. Nikon also made very good microscopes and thats why they have some of the best Macro lenses. Canon (originally Kwanon) started in 1933 making cameras, with Nikon glass, since Canon did not manufactures its own lenses. Canon started to make its own lenses 10-20 years later. Sony's (originally Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K.) first product was an electirc rice cooker. Sony started making video cameras in the 70's and SLRs in the 80's.

@@orfibous What I meant was Cameras under their own brand for consumer use. For a time NK was supplying Canon with lens elements.

[@mozzman]

It’s quite simple, fear, jealousy or ignorance. Nikon is far from last place and there are far easier targets if the supposed reasons for the hate were true. Look at the optics Nikon has dropped over the past 18 months, they’ve put the industry on notice and made many sports and wildlife shooters envious. Finally, half the “photographers” these days, aren’t. They don’t focus on the art, they focus on specs and the tangibles because they lack the intangibles to create art.

I was an early adopter of Fujifilm X cameras and remember everybody crapping on the X-Trans sensors and the "hipster design". Then I was an early adopter of Nikon mirrorless with the Z7, and just rolled my eyes at the "Nikon is doomed" crowd. I don't see myself ever moving away from Nikon and the haters can go kick rocks for all I care. I have never been one of those people who makes decisions based on what is most popular. I simply like Nikon's cameras and lenses more than anyone else's (except Leica which is unaffordable). That is, and will be enough for me.

[@MichaelLaing71]

Right, lets get into certain details. Nikon was by far the largest manufacturer right up until the 1980's. Things changed when Canon changed to the EF-mount, and started releasing their EOS line of cameras. Slowly, Canon started to get a big lead over Nikon. This increased with digital, with Canon releasing full frame DSLR's, far earlier than Nikon and a lot of professionals went over to Canon. Nikon did eventually respond (with very good cameras) but Canon in 2008 released the 5Dmk2, which whilst not being the first DSLR to introduce video (that would be the Nikon D90), was the first full frame DSLR, and they implimented the codecs much better. This allowed film makers to start shooting video on a large sensor, with excellent quality glass, at a much cheaper price. Also, the 5Dmk2, had 21mp, vs the Nikon D7 having 12mp, the headline figures which the D700 just didn't have. Also, we had the internet being the internet and people always want their £2500 camera to be better than the next persons £2500 camera. Canon and Nikon were the 2 major manufacturers so naturally, the big "my camera is better than yours" was between those 2 manufacturers. Panasonic and Olympus really started the ball with mirrorless around 2008 (Though the first mirrorless camera was released by Epsom). With both using the micro 4/3 sensor. Sony in 2010, and Nikon not hugely later in September 2011 (Before Fujifilm released the X-mount line of cameras). The big issue with the Nikon 1 series of camera was that they were aimed at amateurs. So this didn't really please Nikon users and whilst the cameras were not terrible, they were not particularly good either. Meanwhile, Nikon was releasing the D800, which was an amazing camera, with a 36mp sensor. Which whilst not perfect, really did move the DSLR on (It was the first DSLR to allow shooting video externally, but most ignored that). And soon after Canon released the 5Dmk3, which many Canon owners loved. This is important because, the A7 and A7R were first released about a year after the Nikon and Canon, and frankly. The A7 series at that time couldn't compare to either the Nikon or Canon. So those who bought the Sony were mocked and the system was looked down upon by Nikon and Canon users. But Sony persisted improved the camera with the A7II and A7RII, and there started to be a change in attitude. I was at a workshop with Frank Durhoff, who had just gone over to Sony, and he basically was saying he innitially hated the camera, but that changed, when he realised that with mirrorless, he could see the final image in the EVF, and that was a big thing for him. A lot of people started to board the Sony band wagon, between 2014 and 2017, but really it was the Sony a7III, which really changed the market in 2018. Now, Nikon was on a roll in the DSLR world at this time, they had released the D810, the D500 and the D850, which were amazing DSLR's, but by this time, I think many realised that mirrorless was the way the industry was going, and I think Nikon and Canon did realise this (You have to take into consideration the time from planning to bring out a new system to actually releasing it). So, rumours that Nikon were going to be releasing a mirrorless system in 2018, and there was a big marketing campaign trying to build up excitement for the Z6 and Z7. That was right up until the two cameras were announced, and Nikon users were not happy. Nikon had the D500 and D850, maybe the best DSLR's on the market, and then the Z6 and Z7 were released and whilst Nikon did some things very well, ergonomically, many did not like them. They certainly didn't like the single card slot, and when people got hold of the camera, the AF system was poor. Soon after Canon released the EOS R, which in many ways was as bad or worse than the Z6/Z7, though with firmware releases, Canon did fix their AF in firmware, whilst the Nikon options still struggled. Meanwhile the Sony A7III was dominating mirrorless full frame, the AF was amazing compared to the Nikon and canon offerings. Video was good for 2018, and whilst the colour science and menu still were not great, Sony owners didn't mind that, and they could lord it over Nikon users on the internet. Sony continued to power forward, with their a7 line of cameras. Canon released the R5, which is a great camera, and Nikon floundered. The Z6II/Z7II, fixed some of the issues, but Nikon users still were not that happy and new usere were not going to Nikon. The R5, gave a reason for 5Dmk4 users to go over to the R5. The Z7II didn't give a good reason to go over from the D850, and many of those who didn't hated the Z7II, particularly the autofocus. So with Nikon floundering. Speculation started, that Nikon was going to go out of business and Nikon was out of touch, and Nikon users were really frustrated. As a Nikon owner, I had been using a D800 for 10 years, and I had been waiting for a replacement since 2018, which didn't seem to come. In the end I bought a D850, and a GFX100s, because I was so frustrated. So, there wasn't a lot of love in the room for Nikon. Both from NIkon users and particularly from Sony and Canon users, who bother had systems that were maturing (and I say mature with the R5). I think much of the hate stopped in 2022, with the release of the Z9, which was Nikon's game changer, and of course, in 2023 Nikon released the Zf and in particular the Z8, which fixed the Z7II issues and gave a true replacement for the D850. Add to that Nikon has been releasing a really solid line up of lenses, and in 2024, really their lens lineup is exceptionally good. So, Nikons reputation has been saved and they are now releasing camera Nikon users want to buy. Nikon still have a way to go, their lower end lineup of mirrorless isn't great, but they have shown where they are going. So the hate has pretty much gone back down to pre-2018 levels, and with NIkon, Canon, Sony users hating each other equally, whilst pretty much everyone loves Fujifilm (Apart from their AF). So that is my very long take on why many hate Nikon. In shorty, Nikon, Canon, Sony rivalry, the internet being full of idiots, and Nikon making some big mistakes.

Nikon D90 was the first DSLR camera that capable of shooting video. These open open other brands eye.

[@MichaelLaing71]

Whils the Nikon D90 was first, Nikon didn't impliment it more of an after thought than anything. The D5mk2 released soon after than that had the advantage of being implimented better and having a full frame sensor. So, Nikon got their first, but Canon had already realised the that you could have video (it takes years for a camera to go from design to release). Of course, in reality, the Dm5mk2 wasn't great at video, but really it was the start of people seriously using DSLR's for shooting video. Nikon did release the D800, which allowed for shooting of external video to an external recorder. Which the 5Dmk3 didn't have upon release, and had to be implimented in a firmware update. Which I think was more of an open eyes for other brands, but it wasn't a big success in the D800, which was known really as a photography camera.

[@How2Hippo]

yeah bro that's literally 15 years old and it's shooting wild photos right now. I have one and it's literally older than me but the age doesn't restrict it at all. Like I'm using the default lens and the photos it takes are like top tier. The battery life is wild too

[@hishamosman4341]

It is simply a preference issue. All brands are good. We, the people handling the equipment are the ones who needs to learn new tech. With ever expanding video capabilities, everybody needs to embrance this wonderful tech so that future generations could view and cherish the memories

[@maiingun1]

I've been shooting Nikon for 40 years, 35mm to DLSR to mirrorless, and including using Nikon enlarging lenses in my old darkroom, and even shooting Nikon LF lenses on my 4x5 sheet film camera. I even have a Nikon eyepiece for my telescopes. Always served me well. For those 40 years, even before social media, at photo club meetings and letters to the editor in print copies of photo magazines, I have heard people say "Nikon sucks" During those same years, I have also heard just as many people say "Canon sucks" or "Pentax sucks" or "Bronica sucks" or "Lindhoff sucks" , and so on and so on and so on and so on. To all those people over 40 years who have said this brand or that brand "sucks", I have one thing to say: Grow up, get a life, and learn to be grateful for the amazing technology that has been coming out over the years, and the chance to use it, instead of acting like self entitled spoiled brats.

For photography purists nothing beats a full frame Nikon DSLR. I don’t make the rules.

[@Studio-T]

I've been a Nikon shooter since the mid 1980's. You're so right bro, I've invested in the brand. At that time, Canon was considered more of a consumer brand and Nikon was Pro. I'm a fine art portrait photog but if you were in journalism, the lens pools were mostly Nikon. Then Digital came along and as you know, we Nikon shooters were waiting...and waiting, zzz. argh, and waiting. But, they finally did it with the D series. I have the D700, D650 and still shoot today with the D850. It is my true camera love. As a portrait photographer, I can take this baby to wall art sizes beautifully, just delivered a 75" canvas. Now I'm in what seems to be, the everlasting hold for the Z8.

Had to chuckle as NOT everyone hates on Nikon, seriously, I love our Nikons D3000 and D5000 series as much as the D800's and 850's. It is not about the kit, the only reason we did not go with other cameras was the way they felt in the hand. Nikon is nice and chunky, fits perfect and is also mentioned by Simon and Garfunkel in their, "Kodachrome track", all good enough for us! We changed from Hasselblad system to Nikon after they changed the model from the 500 CFV series to the fuji tat format. Again it is not the kit, we still use our alleged Nikon entry cameras, as they are as good now as they were when released years ago. We don't fall for all the latest tat, it is not needed and cameras do not make good photographers no matter how high spec or expensive they are. We still use our Sinar f2 and P2 with digital, for the fun of it, it is personal preference and most pro lenses are as good as we are going to get, the haters must be ignorant! Sony?

I've always been a Canon shooter, 12 years now, never had a Nikon and probably never will, but I have friends that are Nikon shooters and I never thought about their cameras as being bad, behind or sucking, not even back in the DSLR days. Actually, back then Nikon DSLRs were noticeable better than Canon's in almost every regard, dynamic range, lower noise and so on, even sharper videos compared to the mushy line skipped crap Canon was producing. I had to go to Panasonic GH series for decent quality videos. So no, in the past Nikon was never behind and their cameras never sucked. The only issue people are now having is that Nikon autofocus appears to be a little bit behind Canon's and Sony's, but not by much, certainly not by enough to call their cameras bad.

[@photografiq_presents]

Most photographers just go out and shoot. We don't care if you shoot canon, or Sony or whatever. You do you. I bought the first camera that fitted in my hands well, the controls seemed intuitive and it was a good price and a reputable brand. Once I had a couple of lenses it didn't make sense to move away. Nobody I value out of my customers or peers ever asks. Nobody without knowing could guess what I was shooting on. There is a demographic that cares about brand. Whether its ford or gm, apple or android, apple or pc. We've seen this nonsense before, and it's always driven by people like the OP. Brand validation of this kind is equal to religions in terms of irrational cult behaviour. Odd that people don't get worked up in the same way about their domestic fridges. Or that they do about power tool brands. I think there's something in that. You ever hear about great photographers doing this? Hey Ansell! How you gonna shoot that hill without focusing face focus rapid eye dog feature wet nose detection? Oi Henri!! Decisive moment bro? More like 22 frames a second past the decisive moment. Hey Daido Moriyama! Only room for one roll of film?? Deal breaker for me. Nick Ut, how you measure the dynamic range? With a trowel! No, great photographers don't do this. Good photographers don't do this. They know that a compelling subject with good light and shadows is a good image, and it's seperate from the camera. Content creators, sorry. "content creators" on the other hand, know that a polarizing question generates debates, discussion and arguments. All forms of interaction that needy self promoting "creators" need to instigate in order to stay relevant among a sea of identical personalities all bleating the same thing. For the record, I'm not casting judgements on anyone's ability to take a good photo. It's their personality I find wanting.

[@marcp.1752]

Silly thing. Mostly Sony fanboys are hitting on Nikon. Sony bought all Konica Minolta assets into 2006, and Sony was *never* being a gear company, like Canikon. No decades old heritage like them, or Zeiss, or Leica. It's simply not like that. You can bash all you want, but a Sony Camera (i do own many as well) doesn't feel from ergonomics, haptics, etc. like something from Canon, and/or especially Nikon. Whileas Nikon brings countless FW updates to the Z9, and here & there being updating other bodies, Sony just sells you framelines for 150$. FW update is usually updating to the next model. I do use gear from *all* camera brands, so it's really silly & stupid, like kindergarten chitchat, to make videos bashing brand xyz, simple as that. One thing is for sure - i've never liked my A7, it was a beta product, released into fall 2013. Partially plastic mount, hard eyecup (both ever replaced then) internal Sensor reflections (which really sucked, fixed into A7 II), mediocre battery life and especially a sucking Delta 11+7 bits RAW file format, which the guys from RAW digger showed up many years ago, degrade IQ. You want proof? Go & dig the DPR forums.

[@michaeldimitrov1444]

It’s because they never took video seriously LOL, photographers love Nikon, and Canon kept their market share, not because they did better in the mirrorless world (they in fact did worse), but because they had great video even in their DSLRs. The second reason is marketing. You (obviously I don’t actually mean you), the tubers kill more products then you realize, and while Sony and Canon took you (the tubers) to events, offered review gear and absolutely made a killing with influencers, Nikon slept. Another thing is, ppl love to say sh@t even for things they have zero clue about, and once word gets around that you’ve slept with your sister, no one believes that you don’t have a sister.. even if it’s the truth!

[@JosephGarcia]

[@TechSavvy.]

Here's a little fact many don't seems to consider. Canon cameras have always been a little cheaper than Nikon. When beginners are looking to get into photography they have a tendency to go with the brand that lets them buy more for their money. Once they're invested in a brand and have a few lenses they don't really want to have to sell off everything at a huge loss to switch, especially if money is a problem. This is why Canon is so big. Also Canon has done a few things in the past to manipulate their customers which benefits Canon but not so much their customers all the while increasing lens sales. So then the "Defend My Chosen Brand" syndrome takes over and you have 50% of people hating Nikon, who have traditionally been Canon's major competition. I know about this first hand because this is how I started out. Also, for the record, I prefer a bigger and heavier camera that balances better with large lenses to the current mirrorless offerings that let battery power suffer for the sake of lightness. My D850 looks better than any of the new ugly, angular shaped mirrorless models. I don't think looks will ever make someone go mirrorless.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Canon is smart enough to make their way into schools. When young people learn on a certain camera, they are most likely to stick with that brand.

[@panasonicism]

I agree. My first camera was the Canon xti Rebel? (Not sure of the model number). Years later I sold it and bought the Nikon D700, then D800 and recently bought the D850 for the beautiful images and the heft.

[@owen_brady]

I've always thought Nikon got a bad rep since they don't make cinema cameras, even Panasonic has one. I may be wrong here, but Nikon doesn't seem to have the market spread for all the different types one would desire either. I'm a Canon guy, I could go and buy a DSLR, mirrorless, or a hybrid body, and then spread into film with the C100 or likewise and still use all the same lenses. Everything is right there at my fingertips, all it takes is one click and then a new body is added to my army of Canon lenses and accessories. Sony is the same way, but Nikon doesn't have a cinema-equivalent camera that their fans can flock to, possibly leaving a feeling of emptiness and regret for those die-hard fans?

[@5AM-9PM]

I have been shooting with 3 cameras, Nikon D500, Fujifilm X-T20 and Olympus E-M1II. All of them are announced and sold at roughly the same time (2016-2017). D500 and E-M1II were indeed 'flagship' models while X-T20 was a slightly downgrade version of 'flagship' X-T2. So basically they all are represented the best technology (sensor, AF, processor) from each brands (at that time though). Nikon D500 win in almost every aspects (except for face/subject recognition function) even it is oldest and based on supposedly outdated technology. IQ, low light performance, AF, ergonomics and so on. While AF tracking is usable on E-M1II, it's just a joke on X-T20 and it's a beast on D500. Loved them all equally, each of them have their pros and cons though. I don't know much about Sony and Canon. I have used them for some occasions but I never personally own them, just prefer the ergonomics of Nikon/Olympus/Fujifilm cameras over those 2 brands.

[@Justin.HeterodonHome]

I'm not sure if it was a comedic "in the know" choice to show the Nikon D850 when talking about the comparisons between Nikon living in the past vs. Sony's forward looking future, but at the time of it's release the D850 was smoking it's competition. The only thing it didn't do well compared to Sony/Canon, and this has always been a weak point of Nikon's, is video auto focus. If the D850 had been released just a year earlier, it's possible Nikon could have ridden that high wave a bit longer before Sony's next release ultimately put the breaks on DSLRs. If Nikon had managed to put their D780 tech into the D850 then I'm not entirely convinced they would have exited the DSLR market and moved to mirrorless. The D780 is probably the best of both worlds, able to be used as a traditional DSLR and as a fully featured mirrorless camera when in liveview.

[@ReadIcculus93]

I just got my first DSLR last week, and I'm just now learning photography. From what I've gathered for beginners, it's better to find a good deal on a used lens, then find a used camera to go with it. That's what I did. I was looking for a 300mm prime lens, which are never cheap, but I found a nikon 300mm f/4 online for around 200$ so I jumped on it. Got an old nikon D7000 to go along with it. And BAM! I've fallen in love with photography. In out every chance I get to shoot. I love my camera and lens, and I got the two for around 500$.

[@Justin.HeterodonHome]

Nikon being disliked because they were behind on mirrorless doesn't make much sense. If that were the case then Canon wouldn't have 50% market share still. Canon and Nikon literally started on the same footing in regards to mirrorless. They were both years behind Sony, they both dropped DSLR development around the same time, and I believe Nikon was slightly ahead of Canon when it came to fully committing to developing Mirrorless cameras. Thanks to their already shrinking market share though, they went through restructuring which reduced their resource pool a lot. Nikon doesn't advertise their cameras, like ever from what I can see, while both Canon and Sony advertisements are shoved in my face at least twice a year. Nikon just doesn't have the capital to catch up. Their own fault for underestimating Canon and Sony in different decades while failing to improve while SLRs and then DSLRs were King.

I don´t know if is true that "everyone" hates the brand, there is a bunch of screaming youtubers that make noise and some of them are paid for say what they say, and Sony go for this marketing strategy long time ago. Besides this, for "new" generations of creators that play on Sony products, listen music on Sony products and so on they are more familiar with the brand, but let´s say 10 years ago no one knew a sony camera was, it just didn´t exist on the market. Sony it´s a consumer products company, not a imaging company like Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, this guys are in the market for decades. Sony doesn´t know how to make glass, they hire 3rd party. Sony is huge, and yes, in 10 years changed the market, and changed it for good. I have a Nikon Z camera and i´m very happy with it, and used Nikon for years, so, i love the brand in fact.

[@jakeedwards9400]

The fact that I shot a Sony A1 and all the G Master lenses for a national park two summers ago and my Nikon Z6ii came out with better files along side it, with being less than half the mp was really telling to me. Sony files are trash, which is funny since they build Nikon's sensors.

Dude, Nikon is a small company and their engineering team is a fraction of the size of Sony and Canon.

Nikons are slow to adapt but their cameras didn't suck. When the D3 came, Canon was at least three years behind for a whole decade until mirrorless, even behind Sony. Nikon has caught up and is in good position to pull ahead until some revolutionary design comes. It's always a cat and mouse game and years ago, people that are not old enough, are probably only old enough to remember the first good camera Sony finally produced 7, and that was the A7. All the top cameras are good right now.

[@sparkeyjames]

Fact when Canon started making cameras Nikon (more correctly Nippon Kogaku which in essence is now Nikon) made some of their lens glass. Now Sony makes Nikon's 45mp sensors albeit with some of nikons own tech layered into them. Nikon is not beholden to the Camera market they are big in Hunting Scopes for rifles, Microscopes, Binoculars and Equipment for chip making. They even make Glass lens components for other camera makers lenses (cough Sony cough). At Nikons inception in 1917 they made optical glass for telescopes, microscopes and Binoculars. Long before they started making camera lenses or even cameras. Much like Canon and Sony have their fingers in many pies Nikon does too but just not where people would expect them to be. Sony is like the new kid on the block when it comes to making cameras. When Panasonic and others fizzled out Sony at least stuck with it until they finally started producing pro level equipment. Nikon has had all kinds of problems adjusting to the digital camera market. From the times in the late 90's to about the time when they finally got it right with the D3. And again with the mirrorless stuff. Now they get it right with the Pro level Z9 but the prosumer market is lacking. See a repeating pattern here? EDIT: Thought I'd put this out there. NASA in the 35mm segment has just about exclusively used Nikon Cameras and lenses since APOLLO 15 through to today. The ISS has used all kinds of different Nikon Cameras and lenses. I wonder why that is. When I started out in photography back in the late 70's I bought a Minolta camera. It was OK until it stopped working after a year and half. I had it repaired then promptly traded it in for a Nikon FM in 1980. Since then I've only used Nikon cameras. Well OK I did own a Sony point and shoot but only because it had a Zeiss lens on it.

[@truthkeeperfilms]

They hate on Nikon because their primes offer Sony Gmaster optical performance for 1/4th the price. They hate Nikon because their cameras offer 2x the features at a far lower price (A1 vs Z8, R3 vs Z9) or vastly superior features at the same price (Z6 III vs A7IV or R6 II). They hate Nikon because Nikon has the best telephoto line up in the industry. Basically they hate Nikon comes out with products that are far more feature packed and cheaper.

[@Slave-Of-Christ]

My old D800 in many ways has better IQ than current cameras of each brand. Nikon does what Nikon does. They aren't about chasing the trendy things, but that doesn't mean they don't innovate or have great ideas concerning usability. On the surface their way seems stupid many times, until you use it and have that “aha“ moment and say, “so that's why they did it that way! Very useful.“ Nonetheless, not chasing the trendy things does mean, as said in the video, Nikon gets left behind and is forced to play catch-up when other brands hit on something. Funny thing is, they usually do NOT catch up. They usually surpass and raise the bar. Canon went after sports and became famous because of it. Nikon didn't care. Sony did a heck of a job getting into the market at the perfect time, putting a ton of money into development and innovation. I have no desire to use a Sony camera. They are too tech and utilitarian with no soul (now you know I shoot a ZF, right?). But I completely get why people use them. I understand people using Sony more so than Canon. I think Canon is popular, but I've never thought their RAW files were great, nor do I think they are the right “feel“ for creative photography. Fashion and sports? Sure. I just couldn't feel like an artist with a Canon.

Also, the d850 is a great camera and photography wise, is better than any Sony or Canon that came before it. While I respect Sony’s innovation with mirrorless they truly weren’t amazing cameras till the a7r3 and a73.

Whilst I thought the Nikon jokes were funny and sometimes pretty accurate (looking at you landscape mode), hearing the jokes after I had made my initial investment made me worry that I made a terrible choice. I see now it's just a reputation that they've adorned from lagging behind in the industry amongst other things and whilst I'm no pro, I do feel that they've made some excellent progress with their Z series cameras.. Even if they do repeat some mistakes of the past. It'll take them a long time to change public opinion.

I had to sell my film to enter the digital era with the d300, if you study a little nikon had a batch of this cameras made in Singapur, nikon knew this was a bad batch and didn't care, bad luck, my camera was one of this batch, the problem was, sometimes use to kill the flash power just like that, how, when I had fresh batteries, who knows, I had to change the batteries, not only the flash but the camera too, once I was at this park, fresh batteries on both, camera and flash. Firts shoot and it was done, good thing I had extra batteries, for camera and flash, then after 70 or 80 photos the camera battery was done, that was it, all the time, 60 to 90 pictures before the battery die, I had to sell this camera for cheap 100.00, then I moved to nikon d810, almost 3,000 dls. I notice a hard green overcast on skin, I took the camera to a nikon center and they were not able to remove it, spent almost 5,000 dls of garbage, I HATE NIKON SO BAD, I wish they sink, now with canon and skin colors are like WOWWW since first shoot out of the box, when I had nikon, I had nikon prime lenses, not now with canon, I went for a cheap sigma lens, and all my photos now are PHOTOS/IMAGES not nikon pictures.

Nikon on the other hand although having fallen behind Canon and Sony is fighting on. With the Z9 and Z8 cameras first and with acquiring RED now, Nikon seems to be catching up if not overtaking! Now, for the Nikon haters, this is a serious mental case, I don't know if it is curable but I hope there will be shrinks who will take on their case and treat them! Good luck!
