Nikon has been the forerunner for many, many years. Their reputation and quality have proven themselves many, many times. I have always thought of Canon as lesser quality and so do many others. As cmc4214 said, "the camera does not make the photo, the photographer does. This is like comparing apples to tangerines; pointless. Ford, for many years was the car to have, then came GMC. I've never seen a Ford that will compare. Buy quality not name!

Yes it is true. Nikon makes fine glass, and so does Canon. But bottom line, it always comes down to the photographer, doesn't it. Glass is nice, but photographers ALWAYS make the difference.
I have shot, Nikon, Pentax, Kowa, Hasselblad, Rolleiflex, Sony, Minolta, Leica, Konica, and yes, even Canon. I have won awards with all of them. You?
To come here and say one manufacture has the monopoly on image quality shows how little the OP grasps the finer elements of photography. But it really shows how good the OP is at trolling. Well done OP. You are the best troll here, not much of a knowledgeable photographer, but a really good troll.

Not to argue but wondering if you saw this and what you think of it. Says Nikon is playing the long game.
Matt Irwin on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoNblgRmhOI. Makes the argument that the Z lens mount is better for technical reasons. Beyond my pay grade.
Cheers,
Sorry, wrong link. This one is about the mount technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKWWIOoIfE

When I switched camera brands I tried all the available adaptors at the time. None worked to my satisfaction, despite their claims.
I suppose in time the software will be hacked to where the communication works as well as native gear but then there also is the mechanical element. No mater how precise it may become there will always be an additional tolerance stack up to potentially degrade the image. One could get lucky but the odds are against you.
Like teleconverters I avoid them like the plaque.

I'll bet a lot of those Great Whites were Sony G lenses. LOL

All this Canon vs. Nikon talk reminds me of my wastrel youth in the early '60's. There were a couple of sanctioned drag strips in easy driving distance from where I lived. During the week they would advertise on the radio, Ford vs. Chevy events. There would usually be two "Good Old Boys" declaring that their make would beat the other. I see very little difference in this when talking about cameras. Also during he '60's there was an underground cartoon called Zippy the Pinhead. Zippy was a guy dressed like a clown who suffered from Microcephaly. A condition that leaves the person with a smaller than normal head. These people are also mentally challenged. Of course none of this is funny. Zippy's stock question to any scenario was "Are we having fun yet?.

CHG, I have got many Michigan Football games with my Nikon D500. I use Nikon glass every time. I have the 600 f/4 and have even used it for nature photos with the TC-20iii teleconverter. I have even used it for shooting airshows. Now I do believe that Nikon mirrorless has a long way to go. But, I feel that Sony is taking both Nikon and your beloved Canon to the woodshed. I personally have no need for Mirrorless at this time. I also use Zeiss lenses on my D850. For goofing around I have found that the Tamron 70-200g2 is not too shabby, in fact, I it sharper than Nikon or Canon.
