Canon Vs Nikon
Canon and Nikon were once heavily DSLR-focused, with mirrorless options instead being pioneered by the likes of Olympus and Sony. But now it's safe to say that the focus has definitely flipped, with both brands offering very strong mirrorless (and sometimes class-leading) options in their line-ups. That said, both companies are still making excellent DSLRs for those who are firmly in the more traditional camp – or are already heavily invested in DSLR lenses.
Picking your first camera can be a tricky task. There's an overwhelming array of different options out there, and once you throw in the decision between DSLR and mirrorless, you've got another level of complexity to think about.

Canon vs Nikon: Beginner-friendly mirrorless
When it comes to buying your first camera, mirrorless options are a fantastic choice. Generally, they’re smaller and lighter than equivalent DSLRs, so making the jump up from your smartphone doesn’t feel like such a huge step.
Both Canon and Nikon have great options for those new to photography, but unlike DSLRs which have been around for much longer, they can be a little pricier. Shifting your thinking to consider 'best value' rather than outright cheapness is a good way to look at it – investing in a good camera usually means you won’t outgrow it quickly and have to spend again to upgrade.
The best of the current crop of Nikon and Canon entry-level mirrorless cameras, offering all-round shooting capabilities, are both APS-C models, in the shape of the Canon EOS M50 and the Nikon Z50. We think the latter is the better of the two, largely due to it being a better all-round offering and much newer.
The sensor offers a 24.1MP resolution, and although it shoots 4K video, unfortunately it is cropped – so vloggers may find it a little on the restrictive side. Better news is the vari-angle touchscreen display on the rear, which is joined by very decent viewfinder.
Excellent proportions make the Canon EOS M50 a pleasure to use, with streamlined controls and an intuitive user interface. Unlike the Nikon Z system, Canon uses a different mount for its APS-C mirrorless models and full-frame options - which is frustrating as lenses can’t be shared between the two should you decide to upgrade at a later point.
Other entry-level models are also available and are worth considering, with two full-frame models for those who are keen to progress to the larger format. Canon has the Canon EOS RP, while Nikon has the Nikon Z5. Both distill the vital elements of the company's full-frame mirrorless offerings into more affordable packages, but with a number of trade-offs that come from the cheaper price.
