Re: Nikon vs Canon

**Scott Vlaun s*@moosepondarts.com**

I switched from nikon to canon around 10 years ago. The primary  
reason that a lot of photojournalists moved to canon was that their  
auto focus was far superior fat the time. So once everyone had canon  
systems, it was easy to move into digital by picking up a body. I  
just bought my third canon digital body (eos d5) which takes all the  
lenses from my film system. I've had good service from all the  
cameras shooting about 10,000 frames a year and publish the digital  
files up to full page.  I've just been trading up as larger file  
sizes become affordable and I have all but phased out shooting film  
for commercial applicatons. One approach you might consider is buying  
used digital camera that is of a slightly out of date vintage, as  
lots of pros keep trading up as new technology is available. They are  
often available for a lot less than the latest models and have a lot  
of life left in them.

Good luck with it.
