Been a nikon shooter for a long time

Scott,

I agree with the spirit of your post, that both are great cameras and flame wars are a pointless waste of time, however I will disagree that nobody here can tell if an image was shot on Canon or Nikon. If it's SOOC, and it's a technically correct capture, I feel pretty confident I could get at least a good number of them right, I imagine quite a folks who are regulars here also could.

Both brands have a certain "look' to them and there are definitely subtle differences between they render color.

I trust you to be honest, so pick up the magazine of your choice, go through it, and let me know what every photograph in it was shot with. Be honest.

. . . and N-Photo doesn't count.

Canon has much better TV commercials...like the skateboarder roaring down a hill and photographing a rolling, flaming car tire. I mean, man, that's a Canon exclusive. And the NFL touchdown from the cheap seats, with the running back leaping up over the entire defense to score a TD, and then the action being captured by a digital Rebel and kit lens! Only with a Canon d-slr are such amazing things possible!

Ummm...what about nikon TV commercial with Ashton Kutcher?

Great point not only are us nikon users smart, were sexy too!

Unless you're shooting lots of video your reasons are moot.

Blasphemy!

No, actually his reasons are whatever he wants them to be.

I guarantee that if someone posted a bunch of shots without any information about what they were shot on that nobody here could tell whether they were shot with a Nikon or a Canon. Both are excellent devices, both are fully capable of excellent photographs in the right hands and junk in the wrong hands.

That may be true, but with a truly excellent photo, nobody should really care what camera was used.
The camera is just a means to an end. The paint, brush, and canvas for an artist that calls themselves "photographer".
Camera companies like to reinforce the belief that the gear matters more than the mind.

It doesn't.
