Nikon vs. Canon debate: a reasoned defense

Among camera pros, the �Canon vs. Nikon� debate is as eternal and as heated any Mac vs. PC smackdown. And, with Nikon�s release of the D3 and D300 D-SLRs, the war of words has picked up with renewed frenzy.

If you�re passionate about this, it�s easy to be drawn into the discussion at an emotional level and lose perspective, but there are some rational voices adding to the mix. One of them is Michael Reichmann, a professional photojournalist who also runs the excellent Luminous Landscape site. He has just posted a lengthy and very well-written review of the Nikon D-SLRs. Subtitled �a Biased Evaluation of The Differences Between the Nikon and Canon Brands,� Reichmann talks more about usability, functionality and flexibility than he does about image quality, because, for many photographers, those are the important things when you�re shooting every day under vastly different conditions. He clearly notes that he's not �switching,� but he does give some serious props to Nikon�s efforts, and talks about why you might want to look at the advances in the D3 and D300.
