i had a long chain in 5 years with Canon Digital. i went from the 1Ds to 1D2 to 1Ds2 to 1D3 along with a 40D. of all of them the 1Ds2 and 40D were my favorites. the 1Ds2 had to be replaced by Canon 1.5 months into ownership by canon. the 1Ds arrived DOA. we are all aware of the 1D3 history though mine was not too unreasonable. the D3 and D700 do the jobs i need right now without any real pain. in addition for me there is less post work to be done too
lenses owned all f2.8. wide is not their forte
14-24 nikons exclusive. i kinda doubt canon is going to match it
the 16-35 and 16-35 II. still trying to figure out what they \"improved\" from one to the other overall. the Nikon 17-35 more then replaces either in quality
24-70 canon. a good fat lens but it is trumped by the nikon again. no competition
70-200 canon. this lens has yet to be matched by nikon. as was said the nikon has issues with vignetting where canons performance is better overall
300 haven\'t used mine enough to relate it to the canon i had and that was one really outstanding lens.
the sigma 150 macro. this lens performed slow but good on the canon bodies but it is more usable on the nikon ones. faster focus operation and gret images.
