Which one of about a million threads on Nikon vs. Canon would answer that question?

Or you could decide which one you like.

:D

I gotta admit this, when I tested a D700 first hand tat super high ISO 25K the real world print output was stellar, no banding at all. Pixel peeping these days is an addiction of mine and that experience taught me that there's little the D700 can't do.

I've owned both. For sheer IQ the 5D2 wins. The Nikon has a far superior AF system. D700 for sports and other moving subjects, 5D2 for portraits and landscapes.

That image seems to suggest D700... its in the foreground, partially hiding the purposely out of focus 5D2. Someone who was being fair might put them side by side... while a Canon lover might do the.exact reverse of what is shown.

but there is dust on D700 which means it never gets used so 5D2 is still a far better option even if it is in the background :]
