I am not one to join web groups, but I am passionate about photography--40 years. I own Nikon gear. I will give my reason--one I never seen given. I have lenses from the 1970s that still work with my 2016 camera. No other company has offered that. As the current saying says 'Cameras are dispossible, but glass you keep'. I think Canon does have excellent sensors. Nikon has always farmed theirs out, usually to Sony. I will also say that I have seen great photos from very humble cameras. It is the eye and not the equipment. Now a day, it is also photoshop--actually, more photoshop.
I will also make another statement that I have not heard elsewhere. Artists have always used the best color spectrum available. Ansel Adams used B&W because that was the photoshop of its day. He would not do so today. All the famous painters painted in color. B&W has its place, but it is limited.

Welcome to UHH. Black and white is limited only by the skill of the photographer and the imagination of the person viewing the photograph.

Habanero, welcome to the site and the varied opinions. I took a workshop with Ansel over 40 years ago and at that time he did work with Polaroid color film. He likes B&W best. My guess he would still do B&W today but digitize his 8 x 10 negative and manipulate it Photoshop. To me Black and White is a pure art form.
