Firstly I believe there is nothing between Nikon & canon in terms of quality (at my level anyway)....so no bashing please
I started with Canon 300D & kit lens. Wasn't happy with kit lens so looked at better lenses. Realised it was cheaper to sell Canon & buy s/h Nikon D70 & better quality kit lens (18-70). Have since added 50mm f/1.8 to collection.
Now I've started to look at the bigger picture to include some higher class glass at wide angle zoom & longer zoom. Am I wrong in believing Canon L glass is cheaper than Nikon for same quality ? In addition I've come to believe there is more s/h Canon lenses out there , so better chance of decent prices again ?
If true I would consider reverting to Canon...probably 20D at special Currys deal/price of £620
Would be interested in peoples views ( especially if they have moved from Nikon to Canon....eg "Matt" )
For info, I'm not worried about f/2.8 glass, due to weight/cost plus with digital the higher ISO can compensate for me.
The 2 wide angles I was comparing were :-
Nikon 12-24mm F4G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens £729 (Microglobe)
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens - £444 (onestop)
I would look at 50mm f/1.8 again (no price difference between the 2 mfctrs)
Then looking at 70-200 range at Canon L glass level , or possibly even 100-400 .
