Canon or Nikon camera

Giorgetto Giugiaro.

And he should rather have stuck with cars.

The D3 is an awesome (and my next) camera but the puny little high up 4-way controller simply cannot be reached when shooting the body in portrait format.

Hopefully it is my ignorance which leads me to think that I might want to manipulate that controller while shooting.

In the meantime I will hang onto that as a consolation for the fact that I cannot afford the D3 yet.

As for the original question, I think the answer is clear although I would admit to wanting a dual system as both brands have their strong points.

I am simply leaning in favour of Nikon for the type of shooting I do.

Here are 2 images. Can you tell which is the 40D and which is the 5D Mk2?

EXIF info says 30D:shrug:

Fact is, one cannot and should not make huge decisions from images other than full sized off-camera images showing scenes, camera settings and shooting conditions as close to identical as possible.

OOOOOOOOOPS!!
Really sorry for the slip up. Just remembered that I had the nifty fifty on the 40D for photographing the guests as they arrived and the interior shots were with the 30D and 24-105L
Just goes to show that its the glass on front and not the camera that makes the difference.

Fair enough but TBH I think the 30D is a way better camera than the 40D.

Agree totally with the better glass argument
