Why dude? Why, ALWAYS such utter BS!!!!
The statement of going to a soccer game about says it all. Pure amateur nonsense filling the heads of all the other amateurs with more nonsense, incredible.
Growing, huh? How you know this? And the weight and reach thing? Good GOD dude, let it be, it is BS too!!! I have posted the same weight stats more than 5 times on the net and the Nikon gear is no size or weight advantage. A 35mm 1.4 weighs more than a 50mm 1.4.
The only argument you can come up with is the lame 70-200 one. It does not give you more REACH!!! It is still a 70-200, not a 300mm, it is just C R O P P E D! Remember? Your cameras crop the image, not reach out and touch someone.
And lastly, the only lenses that are needing a redesign are poor on cropped cameras too!!! The 16-35 is so-so, the 20mm 2.8 is blah, the 14 2.8 is too film specific. But the rest? Phenomenal!!! Now, would it NOT stand to reason that Canon is designing new glass on that end? Are you just a total.....never mind? Get a *Clue* mister know it all.
Read this loud and clear: Nikon makes good cameras and lenses, the ergos are better but not so much that a good pro can't be as fast on a Canon. Personal preference. But some of the best gear in the world. We can all agree on that, right? But, Canon? It is really good too, SHOCKER!
The full frame and Canon bashing has GOT to stop guys, it makes you all look SO incredibly insecure and to be without an ounce of talent and needing of a life. Canon makes full frame cameras because that is what many want and need. They do a fantastic job at it and even with all the drawbacks, in practice and in print, this full frame gear allows a full range of styles and techniques to be employed by the talented and discerning pro or advanced amateur. JUUUUUST have respect for those who have made the choice based on real world needs, not marketing or envy.
STOP THE BS.....and once and for all, be happy with your choice, but for F_ck sake, stop filling the net with unfounded BS!!!! It is sickening!
So while you are having a "We are ignorant" party, some of us are breaking new ground withe right gear for our needs. Try moonlit aerial landscapes for size. Can't do the same shots with Nikon because they CROP!!! Oh, I know, that is not a 3A podunk soccer game so you can't relate..
Enjoy your cameras, but stop the BS. I mean really...STOP IT!
Sound off the charts harsh? Perhaps, but it is only to the level of ignorance and brand-boy BS I see on an otherwise great forum.

Wow... what is it that makes the Canon shooters so incredibly paranoid and insecure about their brand that they feel compelled to troll other forums and post wild rants?
Canon's marketing seems to play to this obsessive fear of not being part of the "in" crowd. Take those ads showing all the white lenses along the sidelines of sporting events... you have to conform, and be part of the flock of sheep, or you aren't a real "pro". It sort of reminds me of the old axiom about an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters being able to eventually duplicate the complete works of Shakespeare... the modern analogy would be an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of Canon cameras - eventually they would produce one in-focus photo...
