Is there a big difference between canned beans and dry beans?

I don't mean the canned baked beans but just plain canned beans?

like brown beans????  I am confused??? The only kind of beans I make are the either baked beans, bush beans, and then the dry beans w/cornbread...

I think that canned beans have added sodium, I could be wrong though. I typically always use canned beans, I'm too lazy to soak and cook dry beans.

Like say a recipe calls for dry navy beans(so I would have to soak and boil) could I use canned navy beans so I wouldnt have to do the soaking part.  Do they come out the same?

hmmmmm... I dont know... I dont think that there should be a problem... bt I am not a cooking expert by any means... I would ask the cooking board..

you can use canned just adjust the cooking time and multiply the quantity by 3.  Like one cup of dried beans = 3 cups of canned.
