I recently decided to conduct a very exhaustive and scientific study to determine if Nikon or Canon is the preferred camera. In order to conduct the study my wife and I went on a ten-day cruise to Bermuda and I counted the number of Canon camera users versus the number of Nikon camera users. I counted only DSLR cameras since a number of the females with smaller cameras refused to let me close enough to determine their camera type or anything else for that matter. My wife said she understood why they refused. I accused her of being a sexists and she accused me of being a dirty old man, which is where we left that issue.
For the Nikon users I am happy to report that Nikon by a margin of four to one beat out Canon. Ok I discounted thirty or so Canon users who were technically illiterate and thus had purchased the camera without knowing what they were buying. I still do not understand how the ship’s captain could have owned a Canon and still be permitted to captain the ship. Well maybe because the captain was a female and did not know any better. My wife pointed out that at one port all the other ships were parked with the pointy end of the ship (a nautical term) facing into the dock while our captain had the roundy end of the ship (another nautical term) pointed into the dock. I asked our cabin steward why we had backed in and he said, “Oh she’s just showing off,” which is typical of a Canon camera owner.
I had planned to take some pictures to post here, but since I have only had my Nikon 5200 for a little over two months, I have not figured out how to turn it on. I am just about to the point of getting out the owner’s manual but not quite there yet. My wife said if I have not figured the camera out by the time we head to the Vietnam Helicopter Pilot’s reunion she is going to start using it for a door stop. Typical of a woman who uses an almost eight year old Canon Sure Shot and thinks she is a real photographer. Once I get my Nikon turned on I’ll show her what a real camera will do.

Now listen here, Sony. I have a bone to pick with you. You failed to mention in your diatribe that there are plenty of other fine brands that make just as good of doorstops as your Nikon. Just sayin'.

You never heard of someone after a shower drying off with a nikon. Man that would hurt pulling those hairs. OUCH!!! That would bring tears to your eyes.

Funny. My friend and I often go out shooting at various places and we count the Canon and Nikon users. DSLR's. He is a Nikon user and is so disappointed that there are more Canon cameras the Nikon. Try as he might, I will not trade or sell my Canon for a Nikon..

We all know their are only 2 kinds of people that own cameras.

Those who own Canons and those that wish they did. :mrgreen:

I owned one - briefly - its sensor attracted dust better than a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
