My go-to camera has always been Nikon. When I started to photograph in the 70ies, I had a couple of years of Richo, and from then, Nikon. It has always been, to me, the political correct camera (!). I still use a d5100 from time to time. Like this, the Kannestein, outside of Vågsøy, Norway. But. 10 years ago I tried digital Canon, and even if I have no words for it, I always keep my photos based on what is pleasing to the eye rather than technical stuff which I don't know much about even after all these years, I find that Canon gives me better photos. And now, 90% of all my photos are iPhone - because my mobile phone is always there. Like for most others, I suppose. Anyway, looking back at my Nikon photos I see they are softer, more like paintings compared to iPhone (and to some degree, Canon) which are more like drawings, illustrations. More yellows in one, more blues in the other. I have not used a filter on any of them, but I might have lighten them some, I usually do that. What do you think, is camera brand important to you as a photographer, the hobby version of one. And why. #camere #nikon #iPhone #canon #photos #fotografier #kannesteinen #norway #norge #vestlandet

I think your choice is a good one, and we have something in common: The decision to go with Nikon. I started out in the analog era with the legendary FE 2 and later with the F 3 and F 4, then moved into the digital realm with the D 300, the D 800, and later the D 850. Now, in the mirrorless era, I mainly shoot with the new Z 8, which is a superb camera. I only use the 850 sporadically now.
