1) Choose a DSLR with the least in camera processing next time...Nikon.
2) Choose a DSLR with the best ergonomics next time....Nikon.
3) There are Nikon to Canon lens adapters because Nikon glass is
better.
4) There are no Canon to Nikon lens adapters because Canon has yet to
catch up on optics.
5) Both Ziess and Fuji are using Nikon mounts for body and lenses.
Guess why.
6) When Nikon releases a new camera it's generally new from the ground
up, while Canon often redresses old bodies, ie: The "new" 30D has upset
a lot of Canon users. Compare to Nikon who released a utterly new body
in the D50 and an updated D70 in the D70s.
7) Nikon gear holds value better on used market by nearly 20%.
8) Canon has now lenses to match the amazing 70-200VR and new 18-200VR
9) Nikon's VR system is measured to be 30% more effective than Canon's
system
10) Canon has no camera under 1000.00 that can match a D50 or D70
11) Canon has no camera under 2000.00 that can match a new D200.
12) Nikon metering system makes even Canon lovers jealous.
13) Nikon wireless flash system is standard. You pay extra on Canon
bodies and it's still poor.
14) Finally, you pick a camera based on the lens system. Bodies come
and go. Canon is good. Nikon is superb. Almost all Pulitzer photo
winners were shot with Nikon gear.

Canon advantages: Better for pro sports shooters due to faster
turn-around time on repairs and easier to get ahold of gear. Being a
much smaller company, Nikon is slower with repairs and is typcially
sold out. Some people have been waiting since December for their
18-200VR lenses! Of course canon has nothing even remotely as good at
any price.
