Convince me to switch to Canon

[tevo]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, video? Radio flash system? The Magic Lantern? Because shooting a Canon is always fun? Because red rings are sexy? Because.... f/1.2? Other than that, I'd say if you're happy on the dark side, by all means stay there.

I prefer gold rings to red ones

What is the Magic Lantern? What is video?

Canon does have the AF 1.2 glass which I am jealous of... but I forsee Nikon making some in the future. Or Zeiss glass.

This is just personal taste but I like the ergonomics/layout of Canon cameras better. I've played with a friends D800 and it's buttons on dials on more dials.

Another reason I love Nikon is because of the ergonomics and how the camera feels in my hand. I'm starting to see that a lot of this is just personal preference. I'm interested in technical advantages on either side... if any exist.

Well Canon has more/better options for video.....yaaaayy

Canon rules and Nikon drools............... Did that help ?

If you're heavily invested in Nikon, I don't think I would try to convince you to switch.

It's Coke/Pepsi, Ford/Chevy, Taylor/Martin, Fender/Gibson.

Both are fine systems capable of helping you produce outstanding results...

Right, and I don't plan on switching. I made this thread because I want people to TRY to convince me, simply because I want to hear the argument for one versus the other.

Oh, okay.

I was addressing the question "Why should I switch?"

The answer is simple: You shouldn't...

Too much work, time, and money to switch. You should have made that decision in the beginning.

Canon glass blows nikon out of the water.

In what way? I find Nikon images to be sharper and contrastier (if that isn't a word, it is now) SOOC than Canon with equivalent glass. Do you have any good comparisons bookmarked / saved?

Some and some non L.

 

[leeroix]

I think they both have good glass. Each has their own un-equaled products. Have to disagree about blowing out of water.

for a change. should the same brand long enough, maybe you just want a change.
