I have a Canon 650 analog that I really love, but the digital world has come on the scene so with all my lenses being Canon, I will buy another Canon someday.
But it is all in what you can afford and personal preferences.
Keep on shooting.

I don't know why... but i like the Canon name most!Maybe some day i'll get one of this monsters.Now i shoot with a Panasonic lumix dmc fz18.

I have only had Nikon, So i only know Nikon.
I originaly choose the d40x because it seemed to win most magasine reviews in budget line dslr guides.
Now i have spent money on lenses and upgrading the body (just 2 days ago,) i doubt i would ever consider swallowing the cost to change brand.
I dont know why people worry so much about brand names. I doubt there is much difference between them. You get what you pay for at the end of the day and i would have no problems with using a canon for a try out if offered, And if i prefered it..... Who knows
Gota go Full frame one day.

Has anyone here owned both brands? or made the change from one to the other?

Not that I do much in the photography section on the site, but I had (actually still have as it is in the cupboard) a Nikon FE2 with a bunch of lenses so when I went digital I went straight to the D50. I've never had any trouble with my Nikons so I stay with them.

pretty much hit the nail on the head there. i certainly wouldnt fork out to switch brands now iv invested in lenses, flashes etc.

i use a canon 450d at the moment that i intend to upgrade to a 50d before this new years out. plannin on getting the infrared filter removed from the 450d so i can shoot infrared with a normal exposure

Both Canon and Nikon are great! I originally wanted to by myself a Nikon (loved the D90), but before I spent anything, got a Canon for my birthday. So no I'm a Canon girl, no regrets, it's what you get used to Lot's of Canon accessories seem to be the most expensive of all other brands, but... other brand owners find other things to complain about

Canon and Nikon DROOLs! Pentax RULES!

(sorry... today's my birthday and I got my brand new K-7 to replace my ist DS! - woo hoo!)

kyricom, be my friend and let me try ur K-7



CONGRATS!!! happy birthday and have lots of fun with the mean machine

Congrats Kyricom it's a good choice

I have the K20D and I'm very, very, happy with it. Glad to see that I'm not the only rare bug that use another brand

During my argentic period I used a Nikon F301. I still have it and it's always working, but I don't use it anymore).
When I decided to buy a DSLR (about 3 years ago) I wanted to stay with a Nikon and I bought a D40 which was really great ... (It's the one I use now).
I'm really delighted of it, but now I want to upgrade and I'll perhaps buy a Canon EOS7D ...
So I can't vote right now ... I love Nikon but I'm waiting for the good surprises Canon will perhaps bring to me !
