Canon EOS 6D vs Nikon D750

The Canon EOS 6D and the Nikon D750 side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Canon EOS 6D if you want more lenses made for it in this guide (141 against 115). Pick the Nikon D750 if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (24.3 against 20.2 MP) and a newer model (2014 against 2012), which usually means better autofocus and video. If you already own Canon EF or Nikon F lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
