The part that really hurt was the remark that "the canon felt like it was designed by Apple"
He has recently getting very much into sports shooting. He may well have a point (hard to see it as enough to switch your whole system) that canon has a very small advantage this year in sport shooting. But we've all seen this go back and forth several times since the dominance of the D1.
He also argues that the canon speedlites are better. ? Really? Everything I've ever read says that the Nikon ones are head and shoulders the best. Did I miss a generational shift here?
A reason that would almost temp me to switch, he didn't mention. The new ProFoto B1 strobes are TTL for Canon ... Nikon to be added sometime later this year. These look like the coolest battery strobes ever made and I'm lusting for a set...they will get cheaper at some point...still on original backorder in many places now....
For my money, the two companies should merge and become Canikon and make us all happy
What about Fuji?
Would Canikonuji fit across the pentaprism?
Wouldn't want to taint Fuji's concept of caring about the users and improving existing models just because they CAN...
