I choose Cannon than nikon because i believed na mas maganda ang cannon kasi mas matibay at magaganda ang specs ng cannon para sakin kasi mas handy ang cannon kesa sa nikon na hindi ko masyadong kilala kasi atleast ung cannon may ibang items which are better like printers and other gadgets.
Pero nasasainyo rin kung anu ang pipiliin nyu ang akin lang suggestion ko lang po ito at ito talaga ang pipiliin ko syempre ibat iba tayo ng hinahanap pero batay sa specs mas maganda ang canon.
