Excellent review. I like his approach and his photographic eye.
Like Wayne, I'm straddling the two systems (mainly), albeit, a couple generations back, with the D800e on one side and the 1Ds3/5D2/60D on the other.
Like Ming had hoped and, Wayne does, I use mostly primes on the Nikon, most of which can be mounted on the Canon as well.
At the moment, Canon use tends to be for handheld about 80% of its time and Nikon tending toward tripod mounted for over half it's shots.
Buying slightly older bodies and careful used lens purchases has allowed me to keep my image quality high, or high enough to meet my general needs.
I very seldom carry both camera systems, and if I do, it is with a limited lens selection, not two full system (I can't carry ONE whole system! ).
I do wish I could afford a new D5sR and D810 -- as a gear fan, I'm very jealous of you guys that have them and some of the newer lenses.
Anyhow, I completely see Ming'a position regarding shooting assignments. I would choose one or the other brand if I needed to haul it all over creation. But my preference would be Canon, since that is where I have the most investment and experience. I could live with the Nikon, but prefer not to.
Both are great systems!
