Going back as far as RAW v. jpeg, Apple v. PC, Jen v. Brad....there's always been Nikon. V. Canon.
And boy oh boy do we get passionate about it.
As for us and our household, it will always be Nikon. Or as we always like to say I got a Niiiiiikon camera, love to take a photograph. (And, for the record and because I know you're really dying to know :), we are also RAW, Apple, and Jen all the way....well with the exception of Wanderlust. Seriously babe, you gotta READ the scripts before you agree to take them).
We love Nikon for the super sharp glass, the focal points that go all the way out toward the edge so we never have to do the head bob of the focus & recompose :), the low light capability, and the fact that everything always just works. Yea there was that problem with the hot shoe on the D700 that made all the flashes fire off repeatedly....but we just liked to think of it as our portable rave machine. ooonce ooonce ooonce ooonce oonce-oonce-oonce It was epic.
But mostly we just love Nikon because it was the first camera Justin ever picked up in high school. The camera he was holding when he fell in love with the magic of photography. And the camera that he taught both myself and now Julia on. It's just a part of who we are.
And let me tell you, if "I {heart} Nikon" shirts existed....I'd have one in every color.
BUT, we recognize that people can feel just as strongly about Canon. And we're always the first to say that it's not the tool you work with, but what you do with it that really matters. So we thought we'd dedicated this This or That to the age old debate, and give you all a chance to sound off once and for all on whether it's Nikon or Canon for you. AND to make it just a little more interesting, we're going to be pick one lucky commenter to win a set of the brand new Pocketwizard Plus III that we are also loving these days. And no worries....they work on either Nikon or Canon. And.....GO!!
