Didn't know that either.

Olympus... i can adapt all the lenses with a $14 part from ebay.

But if i had to pick i'd chose the nikon, played with one the other day and i like it, i'd never used it and had no prob getting everything setup. Was almost easier than my olympus i'd been using for a couple years now.

Best DSLR advice I've ever heard was "buy what your friends have". That way you can lend and borrow lenses.

Agreed, but choose your friends wisely, some have more cash than others to spend on lenses

Yup. Both my bro-in-law and I have Nikons so I have the zoom & he has the big flash and we can trade back and forth, saving lots of $$. Means more $$ to spend on corals & fish, you know

you can adapt nikon lenses to canon. but why would you. canon prime lenses are far superior to nikons. eg: 85mm f1.2, 300mm f2.8......

Well, yes, that seems to be the popular consensus. However, it will be a long time before I can afford a prime anything, so not a concern for me (I have a reef tank )

I want one of these!
