And, while you're at it, try the lenses. For me, even if I preferred
the Canon (or other) body, the Nikkor lenses would keep me a Nikon
user. Nikon has a very broad range of lenses available, both new and
used, with very high overall optical quality (there have been VERY
few poor [or even second-rate] designs in the line), excellent consistency of manufacturing (there are very few poor lenses due to sample-to-sample manufacturing inconsistencies), and excellent resale value (you can hardly lose when owning Nikkors, unless you beat the value out of them, or lose them and don't have insurance....) - things
I can't say about any other lens line I am aware of. (And, I do prefer
Nikon bodies, also, for their excellent viewfinders, quality of manufacturing, and simplicity of operation (there is no need to take
the manual with me when I photograph - the controls are generally self-evident in how they operate).
Hope This Helps
