[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 65896, member: 9521"] Canon vs. Nikon is very much like Apple vs. Windows PC's, with Canon being Windows and Nikon being Apple. In the past Windows, like today, had a much larger percentage of the market while Apple produced a much finer product. However, Apple charged more for their OS which allowed the cheaper Windows OS to capture the bulk of the market. But in the past few years Windows has caught up to Apple in quality and now they're so much alike it's now a coin toss as to who has the better product. I think the same dynamic existed between Nikon and Canon. In the past Nikon made a better product but charged more while Canon sold theirs for less and captured the bulk of the market. Many of us are Nikon users because we date back to the days when Nikon made a superior product but Canon has up'ed their game and are now making cameras in the same class as Nikon's. In fact Canon got the jump on Nikon with an affordable line of FX cameras and then hit hard with HD video but Nikon learn its lesson and is now hitting back with the D800 and the soon to be announced D600. So bottom line is both Nikon and Canon make great cameras, you'll do fine with either but as you probably could guess, I think Nikon is still a better product, especially their lenses. But that's just me. [/QUOTE]
