[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 540449, member: 9240"] I went through this exercise. If everything functions nominally there's little reason to move from one to the other without incentives. I had a unique opportunity to swap when my brother took a job with Canon and offered me his entire old pro kit on permanent loan to convince me to move, allowing me to build my own stock over time. I did not do it for two and only two reasons: 1. I have had zero issues with the performance of my Nikon equipment. 2. I have no intention of moving up from the high end consumer bodies (with the exception of the D500). If I was experiencing issues with my D750 as this photographer is, or if I had intentions in the future to move up to a D810 or D4s/D5, then I would have jumped ship in a heartbeat. When I have to build in lead time on a new body that I desperately want in order to give it time to shake out under real use, that's a problem. It's not so much that only Nikon has problems, but when Nikon does they tend to drag their feet and deny a little too long for my tastes. Canon, OTOH, will generally own up to it rather quickly. No one's perfect, but I don't want to fight with a company when there's a problem as wide spread as the D600 experienced. I love my Nikon stuff, and I'm here until they screw me over - which I hope is never. But I have no qualms if someone with a bad experience chooses to leave. [/QUOTE]
