And the reason is...marketing. People seem to think more MP means better when in some cases the opposite is true. Did you ever wonder why Nikon wins on the low noise race? One of the reasons is that they don't try and cram more MP on the sensor. This often times results in extra noise. Now for the advantages of 18MP on a CMOS sensor. The only one I can see is that you might be able to blow up the picture file bigger, but that is not always the case. So you end up with a HUGE picture file with little gain. But the marketing tells you that bigger is better so many people get the Canon based on that. To be honest, my reason for going with Nikon over Canon was none of these. I wanted Nikon glass. You will find few people that will tell you Canon lenses are better than Nikon. Not to say Canon makes crappy lenses, but Zulu said, it is suttle differences that separate the two. I was looking at the Canon T2i vs the D90. The camera bodies at the time were $14 apart. Basically dead even. The lens was the determining factor. Most reviews will tell you that whichever line you go with you will get great pictures. Ergonomics are subjective but I think the Nikon wins. The glass is arguably better but in the long run both are good. But "best" is always the enemy of good and I believe Nikon to be the best. JHHO</blockquote>
