Switching to Nikon

Then there was a fast and steady migration to Canon from 2003-2007 simply because Noink did not have a camera even remotely competitive with Canon's pro models or the 5D when it was released.

Now the D3 (and D300) give the Noink shooters reason to go back.

Exactly that - I found the D2x and D200 weren't offering what the 5D could as a wedding photographer so moved to them in mid 2006. The D3 and D300 meant I could go back to what I knew best. By buying almost all of my EF glass used it cost me almost nothing to change, but you always take more of a hit on the digital bodies.

Switching to canon, 1 (found one today). lol
to nikon still nihil tho..

realistically, you could also ask,

"How many people who have switched to Nikon because they are unhappy w/Canon know you"

zero.

Was thinking that.

People I know who have switched has been for different reasons but not because they were unhappy with their current equipt.

a few snowboard and skate photogs have gone from canon digital/film to nikon D3's. what more could you want? high speed frame rate plus full frame, it's a 1Ds and a 1D in one camera.

Zero...

Zero...

I'm with the 'Zero's'

I had no investment in dSLRs. Decided between a Canon 40D and Nikon D300... Been a Canon shooter ever since!

Zero here!

After owning Nikon for 39 years I switched to Canon 6 months ago.
I like it, even tho they have white lenses.
I now own a 5D w/17-40, 50 1.8, 24-105, 90T+S, 7-200 2.8 + Kenko tubes, 580ex2 and st-e2 trans. Im groovin.
All Canon glass.
BUT can a 5D "beep" when focusing manually with a 300 F4 IS with Canon 2Xmk2 teleconverter?
Not one of the 140,000 users of this board has been able to tell me...

Zero

I know of NO ONE that went to Nikon, However I do know one person that swiyched to Canon from Nikon

zero.

How many experience Canon 1DMII thru 1DsMIII plus the 5D users do you know and have switch to Nikon because of sharpness in general OR the issue with the 1DsMIII

Just trying to get a felling of how many folks are unhappy enough to switch
