Bah.. canon isn’t where it’s at.
It depends on what you want to take photos for,
Sports.. well actually now Nikon was the largest seller this year so.. really Canon isn’t the #1 sport lense seller anymore.. woops, but really that’s what Canons are good for, power shooting.
Nikons .. I love my Nikon so much, it fits in my hand so well I’ve held it for hours on end and my hand doesn’t get a cramp or anything at all, I can’t stand holding my mother’s XTi or my fathers’ 40D for more than 10 minutes before my hand is screaming for me to let go it hurts so bad.
Like I said, Canon is for power shooters, they have a lot of fast lenses (for a high price), and then Nikon.. you can take photos from a lens that’s 40 years old.
Canon has typically been for sports etc. Nikon is more or less the artsy fartsy of the two.
