I challenge any average user on this forum (myself very much included) to prove one way or another that Nikon or Canon are better. To a pro they may well have specifics that can only be met by one or the other manufacturer.For the rest of us its whats been said earlier, we make a choice and after a semi pro / pro few lenses have been purchased unless you are very fortunate you can't change for simple financial reasons. I shoot with more Canon users than Nikon users and on any given day no one has an advantage and the results do not form any opinion.I'm all for technical specs and test bench data but when you get out in the field with all that nature can offer it all goes pear shaped, irrespective if you have 10 or 20Mpixels or your sensor has 1 micron smalled pixels than joe's camera it always comes down to the brain of the body connected to the finger that's on the shutter release button, its not down to what you bought or how good it is on paper.off me soap box now over to all of you.</blockquote>
