BUT the main thing is if you buy into the canon system, you have a superb system back up and then in the future you will be able to invest in some really good kit. Like has been said, canons bigger" lenses are better priced and you have the 400mm f5.6 available which nikon dont offer. None of the others offer such a lens either. Hope it helps.
