Nikon or Canon?

Most other photographers I've talked to that are Nikon users all say the same thing: Nikon has better ergonomics. You can hold it in your hands more comfortably, the menu system seems more intuitive, etc. I'm actually a Canon user, and haven't really used anything Nikon besides the D300 (which is sweet camera). I do think that in the long run Nikon has an edge over Canon in ergonomics, but it just comes down to preference. The new Canon menu systems (starting with the 40D and onward) are much better now, and almost every new body has 3" improved LCD. I shoot video as well, so Canon is my choice hands down. 5D Mark II is my flagship.

Hi, I'm with you with that.
I own a 400d and I'm getting a 60d in a few weeks time.
I've tried out two Nikon model d300s and d7000 than decided about to staying with my beloved brand.
How ever, I've found out if you change mostly a saturation settings you will get the same colours out.

I love 5d mk2 and when I'll be good I will get it.

I started out with Nikon when I shot film. I had an F100 and N55. They were kind to me. I switched to Canon when I went digital, I forget why. I liked what I could get at the time with limited funds. I wanted to go back to Nikon for a while just because I already had a few lenses, and at the time I felt like Nikon had better glass. I've since changed my mind on that so I'm sticking with Canon.

as the old "comparrison test" goes,have a friend take an identical picture with similar canon,and nikon cameras.post them both on your computer screen,and allow you to guess which camera took which picture.use your mouse to flip picture to picture,and see if you can tell the difference.i understand that it can get a little embarrassing,to the typical "pro canon",and "pro nikon"owners.
