I’m in the process off testing out Nikon. I’ve been a Canon user for about 8 years. Never ever used a Nikon, so the other day I decided to buy a Nikon D60 (I know it’s only entry level).
So far I haven’t made a decision yet, but i like what I’m seeing so far in Nikon. If I decide to move to Nikon, I’ll be buying the D300, have allot of Canon gear (100 – 400 lens, 2 x 580 EX flasguns, ST-E2, 100 mm Macro Lens, Macro Ringlite etc…) to sell off, but for most of it, I have friends that uses Canon, so it’ll be easy to get rid off.
Anyone here that used to use Canon, and made the switch to Nikon as well???
I’d like to know anyone’s thought on this, especially if you’ve switched.
The only thing that’s throwing me a bit… what’s Nikon’s Macro gear like? Whatever I have in Canon, I’d like to buy in Nikon if I switch.
Also, Canon has 2 lovely affordable 300 & 400mm Lenses, that I could buy for around €900 each new, Nikon I think has only the 1 affordable 300mm Lens.
I’ve decided to stay with Canon. Even if I had a D300 or D700 I still won’t be happy.
Hi Johann,
I think that might be a good decision.
I just had a look at the list of Canon gear you have in your profile and
it’s a pretty impressive list.
Definitely capable of producing some outstanding images if used to it’s
full potential.
It’s actually slightly outdated, thanx for reminding me, I need to update my profile a bit. Nevertheless, I still have most of the gear listed. I’d love to be able to add to the list, EF 300 f4, EF 400 f5.6 and 85 f1.2, that’s my next three buys next year, but anyways, don’t really get much time nowadays anyways.
