For those not familiar with my prior posts and gear talk, back in the summer/fall of 2006 I switched to Nikon DSLRs (D2Xs) after being a Canon digital (10D, 20D, 1DMKIIn) and film (1V) shooter for many years. There were many reasons why I did this, but really the main reason was that the Nikon felt better in my hands to me than any Canon ever did. And handling is very important to me, especially when you are shooting for many hours. The controls should feel comfortable, the body should not bother you, etc. I had initially chosen Canon DSLRs (10D first) since I had the Canon film camera (1V). I had never even bothered to look at Nikon since I had Canon lenses. I went with familiar. But when I did look and play with the D2X (by chance), it just felt right at home for me, and I instantly loved it. Everything felt better and the controls more logical to me. Obviously a personal thing, but very important to me. At the time, and having come from a film background, high ISO noise didn't bother me, as I rarely shot above ISO 640/800. So I became a Nikon shooter, and the change was good.
