So recently, I’ve been looking into buying a lens for my Nikon DSLR camera\"\"<\/a> and with all the research in looking for the best prices, I find myself caught up once again in the argument between which camera is better, Canon or Nikon. I’ve already had my camera for a while, but this argument has always appealed to me because I was very indecisive when I was making my choice a year ago. At the time, I wanted a Canon, but settled on Nikon because of the price.<\/p>\n

After I bought the Nikon, I tried to make myself feel better by turning all the reasons why I wanted a Canon into bad reasons. I’m pretty sure I came up with several (this was almost a year ago) but this one came back to me more recently because I happened to be watching a Canon DSLR TV Commercial.<\/p>\n

I started thinking about how often I actually see Nikon TV Commercials and notice them. It really wasn’t until recently that Nikon hired a celebrity such as\u00a0Ashton Kutcher<\/a> to appear in its camera commercials, but Canon has been using celebrities, such as Avril Lavigne, Jackie Chan, tennis pros Maria Sharapova and Andre Agasi<\/a>, for a several years now. Canon, essentially has spent a great deal more on its marketing than Nikon has in recent years, and, as a teenager of the social media era, it natural that I’d be influenced by my television; I’ve just been surrounded by Canon’s advertising more.<\/p>\n

However, when I look back at the details, both cameras are great for their own reasons, and there really is no reason why I should prefer one over the other. I love my Nikon, and Canon just made me realize how powerful endorsements are and how great they are at promoting their products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
