I wouldn't say that either system is better than the other, they are both very good systems, but having used both I vastly prefer the Canon cameras and lenses, but I doubt that I'd have switched systems if I'd had a lot more money tied up in Nikon gear but having a D80 (which I didn't particularly like) and a couple of cheapo zooms made the switch no problem for me.As for Canon being perceived as being inherently superior to Nikon for nature photography, could that be to do with the fact that so many people use Canon, pros and amateurs alike? So many photographers' websites list Canon gear under 'Equipment' used that it could make people think that Canon must surely be better.</blockquote>
