I'm switching from Canon to Nikon. Both are excellent systems.
At the end of the day it depends on what you shoot and assess the trade offers. No system is perfect.If I had the money, I'd have Nikon, Canon and a MF system. I can dream. Even then I would choose a system, go on a shoot and wish I had brought the other system with me!
Please close this pointless thread.

Nooo... leave it open, I find it hilarious that even in a joke thread, people can't help but take this utterly pointless subject seriously. Leave it open. Much LOLZ
Bronica (just slight tongue in cheek).
Bigamy!But my Bronica has Nikon lenses!

And the first Canons had Nikon lenses too!
If there is one old worn out record that gets played over and over on photography forums, it the Canon v Nikon one.
If there is one old worn out record that gets played over and over on photography forums its the reply about them both being as good as each other that gets repeated over and over.. just like wot you did.
my point being... your complaining then doing.....
Ah, are you one of the"experts" that is going to tell us why one is better than the other,
This is a joke thread intended to take the p1ss out of people who compare Canon and Nikon gear. LOL at all the serious replies.
read the thread.. my replies above yours somewhere...its not hard.. in fact its easier than asking
Ah yes of course, Atari v Amiga, very relevant
Are you American Dave?... Unless of course, I am misreading the cryptic message in you Amiga v Atari comment.

Sorry but this comment reminds me of the yank photographers comments on Derek Pye's site.
It's not a serious discussion!Ah, are you one of the"experts" that is going to tell us why one is better than the other, and why they are not both equally excellent products, based upon sound technical evidence, as opposed personal subjective opinion.
I said that "both manufacturers make very capable cameras and lenses". Would you disagree with that, and if so why?
My point is, that the whole forum based Canon v Nikon discussion is as 'old as the hills', has never reached a consensual agreement, and never will. We all 'like what we like', and as such what we choose, in our minds, has to be the best. This debate will go on ad infinitum.
I spent a large part of my working career in R&D, where what is best, is based upon scientific fact and data, not subjective opinion.
Can any forum member, including you, tell me that Canon is better than Nikon, or vesa versa, based on sound technological evidence that you actually understand, and not personal subjective opinion.
Is anyone here, qualified to make this judgement, on anything other than personal opinion?.

Get out of here, Frosties are deffo the best breakfast cereal known to mankind......Just been having a look at his site.
Some of the comments are just staggering.
FWIW, Rice Krispies are easily the best. No contest. That's not opinion, it's fact. I have 18 boxes and that proves it.

It always prompts a whole load of Bull***t to be proliferated by the "experts". Usually singing the praises of one particular brand, because that's what they own.
Both Canon and Nikon are "six of one and a half dozen of the other". Both manufacturers produce very capable cameras and lenses.
Most folk start out with a particular brand and stick with it, mainly because changing brands involves changing more that just the camera body, and as such an expensive venture.
I have been completely happy with Canon for many years, just as I'm sure I would had I been with Nikon.
The 'bottom line', its not so much the 'kit' you have, but what you are able to do with it.
