I have been tempering with switching (partly) to Nikon as well. But in the end I love my 1Ds3 and Canon lenses too much. For a suitable back-up I have abandoned the D700 idea for it is not very pratical having a dual system. Right now I am contemplating of buying a 5D back or go with the much hyped 5D2...
thanks, Daan.
the reason the switch works for me is i\'ve already sold off most of my canon lenses (for other reasons). also, i got a really good deal on the d700. it was one of those deals where if i sold my 5d and peripherals, i could get really close to what i bought the d700 for.
as for canon lenses, i think that they have nikon beat on 35, 85 and 135L offerings. nikon is really behind in that respect. however, their latest offerings (14-24 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 200 f/2) have demonstrated great results.
thus, if one has the money to throw around (which i don\'t), it is possible to wield both systems because they do complement each other nicely. it\'s a matter of picking the right lenses for each respective system.
