Nikon vs. Canon Shootout

February 15, 2010 by David Bergman

Who would win a low-light shootout between the new Nikon D3S and Canon 1D Mark 4 cameras? Josh Lehrer wanted to know so he organized a “shootout” featuring the two.

I shot Nikon and my friend Robert Caplin used Canon. We spent a few hours last month trying to make images in horrible lighting conditions.
