Quote:Could please elaborate a bit more on this? I read the other thread that you referred to, but could not find really strong points that would explain this bias towards Canon. Or am I misunderstanding you?Well, it's my personal bias to swivel screens. I find them very useful for my photography. Canon makes one in the EOS 70D which is at the same time touchscreen. So, this helps a lot in marking a desired focus point, instead of tipping on some dials. Canon is also leading in inbuilt WLAN, another thing I'd be happy to see in a Nikon. Nikon, on the other side delivers the image quality I'm happy with, contrary to the Pentax I had before.
I've about 10 lenses, fast glasses and nice (and less nice) zooms. Except the Sigma, which I could use on a Canon after sending it in, all of them are Nikkors. It's not the loss of money alone, some Canon lenses are simply more expensive than Nikon versions.
What I wanted to say: it was not a huge question whether going Nikon or Canon when I changed brands 3 years ago. But today Canon has some more attractive models in their portfolio and maybe I would decide differently today.
More or less, the quality is not that different, it's more about personal preferences and seriously, I don't see me giving my D800 away. But in the beginning, on APS-C, Nikon had an advantage with the D7000. I liked the handling better. Of course, I could use the Nikkors with adaptors on a Canon but that's only third best. And that was what I meant: all your glass is manual focus anyway. I think you're free to choose and suggest go and grab a camera to see what feels best in your hands.
