[QUOTE="breadfan35, post: 335717, member: 26034"] I'm glad to see a Canon person who can be objective. I shoot Nikon and really only went Nikon because my Film camera was a Nikon and I wanted to be able to use my lenses that I already had. That being said, now that I know more, I will probably stay Nikon as I just feel that overall they are more user friendly, and have much better designed camera bodies when it comes to feel and comfort IMO. (at least at the entry and semi-pro level) I will say that for a good while, Nikon had some significant noise problems at high ISOs. However, Nikon has made great improvements in this area and I expect them to only get better at it. My D200 performs great all the way to ISO 1000. (I rarely go above that) Canon and the CMOS sensor generally have and still do (but not by much now) preform better at high ISOs, especially with the Full Frame sensored 5D and 1Ds Mark II. However, I do not think Canon has better glass than Nikon. I am not sure which brand has more choices, but as for quality I think Nikon has the edge. And I am not alone there. Hence Canon bodies having an adaptor available to mount Nikon glass on the Canon body. There is no adaptor the other way around. Also there is no "top of the line" Nikon glass as Canon has with their "L" series. All Nikon glass, is top of the line glass. Typically sports photographers go Canon for the 8.5 Frames Per Second @ a full 8.2 megapixel resolution, not necessarily because their telephoto glass is better. Nikon does not match that fps rate. The D2X(s) will shoot 8 fps, but at a 6 megapixel center frame crop mode and the D2H(s) will shoot 8 fps at full resolution, but that model only has a 4.3 megapixel sensor. That and that alone, (I believe) is the reason most sports people shoot Canon. Nikon just has no true equivalent to match Canon in that area. That being said, if I could afford it I'd have my Nikon equipment and some Canon gear. I'd love to have the best of both worlds! [/QUOTE]
