[QUOTE="michaelmurphy007, post: 45035, member: 8918"] I was and always have been a Canon shooter. The D4 and everything it offers persuaded me to jump ship. I invested in the D4 with a few outstanding Nikkor lenses, including the newest 85 1.8G, the 50 1.4G and the awesome 24-70 nano coated 2.8G. The decision was made while trying to decide between the new D4 and the new 1DX. Hands down and as I've always fantasized, the new Nikon pro system won the battle. A lot of Canon investment to go onto Craigslist. More importantly, I don't care what everyone has been brainwashed to think but the megapixel count is not the only thing to do with superior image quality. To defend that statement, just watch Jared Polin on his "fro knows" CES tour. He mentions a forty something megapixel camera offered by Fisher Price or some other children's toy manufacturer. The gadget is priced as low as a large junky infant's toy can be, probably around fifty bucks. Would you think that because of its megapixel count, the toy will shoot superior images to the Nikon D4? Highly doubtful. I'm quite aware of pixel size vs. count when it comes to image quality. Bottom line, I ordered my new Nikon system and have been sleepless at nights awaiting its arrival. By the way, my current Canon system sports more MPs than my new switch. I'd be crazy to switch to Nikon for a system that produces images of a lower quality. Nope, I've thrown the MP marketing ploy right out the window. I want top notch quality. Period. Through research, I've found that the D4 will offer nothing less than just that. Considering video, hell, I'm a still shooter. Could care less about it. So, my opinion on stills is not biased one way or the other. I focused on stills and stills only. Think of this, I ordered the D4 and have time to change my mind. I could easily swap for the D800 with its abundance of MPs, grab a few more lenses and save even more money. Guess what? Not gonna happen. My long research has lead me right into Nikon D4 hands. I will miss Canon but the truth is in the pudding. Without all the mumbo jumbo... D4....all the way!!!! Another sleepless night ahead. Save the extra bucks and go for quality over quantity. Good night my (new) Nikon friends. M.A.M. [/QUOTE]
