[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 516642, member: 9240"] What would it take to get you to abandon your Nikons for another camera? Better yet, what would it take to get you to switch even if you were absolutely happy with the equipment you have? That's the question I'm currently asking myself. Why? Because circumstances are such that I may be given - yes [B][I]given[/I][/B] - a pro-level Canon kit. With that would come the ability to purchase additional gear at a [I]substantial[/I] discount. In other words, with the exception of my IR cameras, I could likely sell off my Nikon equipment replacing it with equivalent new Canon gear at a break even or perhaps even a make-a-profit margin. It also gives me the ability to borrow/share gear with my brother, a Canon pro. So I am seriously asking myself, does the name on the prism make enough of a difference to me that I wouldn't consider the switch, or am I permanently committed to what I have? I honestly don't know the answer. The D750 is a phenomenal camera, but I suspect a the 1D and 5D aren't either. I'm getting my "kit" at the end of the week. It's going to be an interesting month as I get to play with it and figure things out. [/QUOTE]
