which camera brand is better? canon or sony?

also is there any good canon white camera? thx

Function wise canon wins hands down. The SD850 IS seems really good... I'd get that if I wanted a(nother) point and shoot camera.

canon

canon . . . by a long shot.

sony ftw!!!!








lol jk, canon for sure

CANON........in my opinion.

Are you talking about a basic point and click camera?? I would go with an Olympus or Sony...if you are talking about Dslr then Canon and Nikon are popular but I have a Canon Dslr...there is also Pentax.

Canon,
but I'm a Sony person. =]

actually you need to compare specific models.

anyway, i will go for Sony.

I prefer Canon over Sony, Canon just kicks butt when it comes to major photography

i would say cannon but the Sony DSC T20 is soooo nice in White so i got that one instead it's so cute and sleek



if you see in the real, it's actually glittery.. making it more toy like

if you want to go for style and different functions, go for SONY,
CANON is pretty good too, but I'm more a Sony fan =)

lolz! CANON for sure! i have special order from circuit city for this model..it tends to run out of stocks most of the time...very cool camera!

I'll have to go with Canon.

canon. Why would anybody spend money on a sony camera?
Canon's take better pictures, period.

Sony's just a cuter paper weight.

I got sony.. but now i regret it:3

i like canon better.

i have a sony but i love canon x]

Canon hands down. Sony products seem to be over priced imo

Hahaha that's the camera I have XD

Yeah, Canon is pretty high up there when it comes to camera functionality and quality.

canon's best for photos...
it has established itself already for many years....
pentax is very reliable too....
personally, i own a canon..
a lot of people i know own canon too...
they are quite pleased...
nikon's good for dslr too...
if you just want a small sony camera,
just make sure it has the carl zeiss lense...
most sony cameras have it now,
just double check for it....
sony's best as video cameras..
canon's best for photo cameras...

I am biased.. go CANON!

But Sony isn't that bad though.

i'd go sony if style and video are important to you. canon has great features that'll help you take photos that really pop. so it really depends on your needs. sony takes pretty decent pictures as well, just not as good as canon's. however, in most situations where you have a lot of light, you probably wont notice that much of a difference. it's when you take your pictures indoor, or on a cloudy day that'll allow you to see differences between each camera.

determine your needs, and choose accordingly.

straight up CANON...
seriously the best imo.

i was just deciding between the two over the weekend when picking out a new camera for myself. i got a canon of course. i mean, who would choose a sony over a canon when it comes to cameras?! though like most have said, if you want cuteness and style, go with sony but otherwise, canon all the way even when comparing specs and prices(sony is overpriced imo).

i was choosing over these 2 brands too! xD i've always thought sony was the best, but CANON. But im a sony person so, eh :] BUT sony has nicer looking cameras xDD

canon for quality
sony for style.

Canon hands down =) lols.

Sony a900 user..
i use the ziess lenses..

id say..sony is for landscape ..
ive use both nikon and canon and i never seen any sharper photos
than the sony..


canon is for portraits..
the canon 50mm f/1.0 and the f1.2 lens are love..

I definitely based how I buy a camera by looks (lol.. ^^) so I pick Sony.

I love Sony. I always depend on them for all of my electronic needs.
Oh except for my iPod >.< Sorry Sony, Apple beat you there.

I personally own about 3 sony cameras and a friend of mine own's a canon. I like his camera better cause it has better self-timer options where you can take 10 shots with self-timer!

But minus the self-timer options, the quality's fairly nice too ):
I wish I owned a canon now.

canon all the way........I love my canon camera

I would go for canon. I've been using canon powershots as my point and shoot and love it

sony for me.
I got myself two sony cameras (A200 and DSC-T7) and didnt regret it.

Have you tried olympus for landscape?
To this day, i haven't seen a camera do a better job than the E-1 with an 11-22mm lens.
So sharp you can cut yourself.

My Canon... broke... but I prefer Canon over Sony. Canon is better.

Woot, fellow A700 user here! C:
Though, I don't have any Zeiss lens (was looking towards the fixed focal one though, maybe even the 85m?)

Sony SLRS and Sony P&S cameras are two very different things.

for my free lance jobs i cant really work with a low mp camera..

and i really need the full frame..

24mp also really helps with cropping images and printing large prints for landscape...

the new tech is much more usefull..

i cant really work with the old dslrs when coming with landscape..

though im not saying the e-1 is bad

its just not the camera i need..

I am a die hard Canon fanatic.
Their cameras are worth every penny!

I get it.
I'm still just amazed at the per-pixel sharpness that some older DSLR bodies get.

with 24mp...who needs optical zoom?

Sounds like you're doing some heavy cropping.

Even with some good amount of cropping, i find 10mp enough, although, i may not be printing 30x20 posters like yourself.
Largest i ever get is 8x10

I would LOOOVE to slap on the ZD 35-100mm F2.0 on a D3x...i'd be mad intrigued with the results.

Canon all the way. It is worth your cash + features

canon for functionality.
sony for looks.

for me sony for compact cameras T900!!
DSLR - canon!!! but nikon is better IMO xD

Canon FTW as well as Nikon

Definitely go for Canon. They've been in the camera business much longer than Sony. My brothers both have Canon and have been very happy with the durability of the build and quality of the pictures and videos.

canon.
a sony 12 mp is not as good as a cannon 12 mp

canon by a LONG shot. sony cameras are mini cooper... the point and shoot ones are at least. seriously. my mom hated her t70 so much she went and bought a canon... and shes not even that picky a person... she just was appalled by the image quality. cybershots are really beautiful cameras though.. what a shame.

CANON, hands down.

canon for sure.. sonys are so annoying : / like, you have to go into a menu just to delete a picture. and the quality doesnt come out that great sometimes IMO even if its high MP. I was actually deciding between one of those touchscreen Sonys and a Canon a couple months ago. SO glad I got Canon. Canon = clear pictures + awesome quality. even the lower MP ones are worth it.
