Planning (desiring) to switch to Nikon

I say go for it if your Canon gear is leaving you unimpressed.

Most of Nikon's stuff is still Made in Japan. The lower-tier lenses are made in Thailand or China. As far as I know, the high-end Nikon stuff is made in Japan at the Sendai plant-stuff like the D4, the big telephotos, the high-end and difficult to manufacture lenses.

I like turtles

As old Steve5d (where is he) used to say "show me all the award winning high DNR low light photos...."
All I have to do is look at IMO many great photos by people here on TPF created by both camera makers, and I am sold that it's the photographer much more than the gear. Yes I believe the Sony sensors are better. Fortunately, all I have to do is look at one of many landscape images created by Majeed Majeed Badizadegan Flickr - Photo Sharing to convince me that a change would not be worth it (to me). And....it works the other away around too. I follow Jeff Clow Flickr - Photo Sharing he uses D800, D700, D7100, Olympus, Iphones etc.

Photographer or Gear?

I totally agree . Whatever makes us happy and is legal.

sometimes living or traveling to the right places really makes the photograph and stimulates your photographic juices

Just wondering if there are any Nikon users out there who would trade a similar Nikon outfit for that Canon outfit?

I have thought about it briefly. I do love the way many Canon lenses render images. And as most of my paid work is portraits this would not hurt me as much as if I was a serious landscape photographer. But like I said, the thought was very brief.

Edit: I wouldn't change what I have for what the OP has. Just Canon in general.

For every fabulous photograph taken with a Nikon I can show you one taken with a Canon. For every fabulous photograph taken with a Canon I can show you one taken with a Nikon.

Nope! I actually switched from the Canon 6D to the Nikon D750 and never looked back. The Nikon (sony) sensor has been a godsend for my style of shooting, but not everyone has the same needs.
