That's right. Nikon is for terrorists.

Joey L rocks!!

If you get a chance to see his video documenting his trip back to the tribes people he photographed then watch it. Heck just go to his site and spend the 20 bucks to buy the DVD. It's good.

Just spent 300 on the Peter Hurley video

I'm sure it's money well spent though. I'll check him out when I get to a computer. The site requires flash to view. Not going to happen with the phone...

I shoot with Canon 5D mk2 with 180/3.5 L series macro lens and a Canon G9 for quick shots.

One of the best places to buy camera gear is BHphotovideo.com. Just got a 2' arm to extend the camera over the tank to get those HD1080p videos of the corals feeding on my foods.

Cheers,
Tim

These days does it really matter?

Take comparable bodies that stack reasonably well (although most don't) from each, stick them in a bag and tell a person to pick one. Id bet my gear, that as long as it was free no one would complain about the one they got.

I went Canon due to their lens line up. For what I do I felt they had better and more options in the area that was most important to me. That said while there are differences between the two lineups, I don't think it matters much.

1Dmkiv and way too much glass

My camera guy told me one day that made me a canon guy.

The image stabilization on the canon will take pictures with the same quality as other canons with a few more MP. For example our P&S 10mp Canon takes equal quality or better than my parents 12MP P&S, especially of moving objects like kids, the dogs, or fish.

mega pixels and image stabilization are unrelated. image stabilization is important when the light is low and you need to use a longer shutter speed.

also image stabilization is useless for any kind action photography. generally when shooting action a high shutter speed is used. and any shutter speed thats higher than 1/focal length makes the stabilization useless and could even work against you if you're panning
