So I finally got my new Nikon system consisting of a D300 and a myriad of “accessories” (I basically matched my 20D, which I will be dispatching soon).
Wasn’t able to play with it much since I was with my GF and we’d probably get into a fight about priorities if I paid too much attention to it.
Today though, in this post, I’ll be discussing the reasons why I personally prefer Nikons now.
The short of it is that both systems (Canon/Nikon) have their strengths and weaknesses; it will just boil down to how a photographer approaches his craft, and which tool maximizes his/her efficiency with his/her personal “workflow.” I have to say with all honesty, as far as my approach is concerned; I’m really really REALLY glad I made the switch.
There’s a good article with minimal bias; the guy’s a Nikon user ultimately so there still is a bias; but the points he raises are very sensible and may shed light into the whole debate without resorting to fanboyism. He goes as far as discussing the history of the two brands and how each leapfrogged each-other at any given time in history.
Another good one would be here. From how I understand it he’s primarily a Canon user nowadays who just invested in the D3 and D300, and intends to use both simultaneously.
