Before buying a technological object, a computer, a television, a mobile phone or a digital camera, you always take a look at the websites that offer reviews and comparisons. While I greatly appreciate the blogs that make cards and reviews based on people's comments and judgments and not on the basis of sponsorships (and in this regard I am very suspicious of commercial newspapers which, at times, seem to make advertisements of hidden advertising), I found a website that makes direct comparisons on the performance of cameras and digital cameras .
What I am pointing out is not a chattering blog but a site that makes comparisons based on objective data and says which camera is better than another .

The site is called Snapsort and is a great internet resource capable of immediately giving a rough indication of the technical characteristics of the cameras and how much one photo does better than another. The page is extremely essential, there are two models of cameras sold on the market and you look at the comparison sheet that elects a winner of the challenge. If you are undecided, you can press the random key which makes a random comparison.
On the page there are some of the most popular comparisons among the best-selling cameras; for example, Canon 7D vs Nikon D300S, Nikon D90 vs Canon 500D, Nikon D3000 vs Nikon D5000 and so on. The brands are all there, Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Samsung, Casio, Fujifilm, Kodak. For each camera you are looking for there are various photos from different angles and it is then written with which other photographic camera is being compared several times, so you can get an idea on products similar to the one known.
The reflection that leads me to consider this SnapSort an excellent reliable site is that it is not an online store and bases comparisons on objective data without trying to push the potential consumer towards one product rather than another. The comparison takes into account characteristic considerations such as the quality of the photo in megapixels, the flash, the moving photos, the quality of the videos, the sensitivity of the lens, the weight, the resolution of the LCD screen and other things.
Two things are missing: first, there are no indications on prices and, consequently, you can also make comparisons between a 100 Euro camera with a 1000 camera with the obvious result that the 1000 camera is better. To orient oneself also on orienting also on the basis of cost. Second, you cannot unfortunately compare the quality of photos taken with two different cameras .
For more detailed comparisons then another important portal must be used, very large and famous: DigiatalVersus, a site also in Italian. It offers a comparison between different camera models, indicates the prices charged by the main online stores active in Italy and shows the same image taken with both so the user can look at the differences with his own eyes. On this site, in Italian, you will also find the differences between prices and comparisons between televisions, cameras and monitors.
You can search and compare the photographs taken with the various cameras of digital and mobile cameras using Flickr in the special image search section according to the brand and model used to take that photo.
On the Lens vs Lens website, you can compare photos taken using different models and brands of lenses, so you can actually see the differences and choose the most suitable lens.
