I am wondering if there may be some truth in that everything in Nikonland is much better than Canonland. How else do we explain the near fanaticism of well known online figures such as Ken Rockwell, Lloyd Chambers etc? Are there equivalent fanatical representatives for Canon? I'm not aware of any. Also, why do well regarded magazine reviewers such as Will Cheung, professional sports photographer Rob Galbraith and wildlife photographer Ole Jorgen Liodden switch from Canon to Nikon?[/quote]
Because they got an offer they could not refuse? I know that this happened to at least one of them. As to RG: he has been in a fight with Canon since the 1D Mk III AF thing, and never wanted to admit it was good enough, and with the 1D Mk IV he did a similar thing. So I guess that was to be expected.
And no, generally speaking the Canon fanboys are not as extreme as the Nikon ones, that is my experience anyway.

Kind regards, Wim
