It really is too bad there is so much hate for Nikon - the cameras are really good now and the ergo's awesome - not sure why KR thinks the ergos of the R3 will make one never use Nikon - the Z9 promises similar ergos - also ergonomics is largely a matter of opinion when it comes to dial placement (less so for grip).
Personally, I do not like how Canon puts the shutter on the index finger and ISO on the thumb wheel and then aperture on the rear dial - this is counterintuitive to me - Nikon's shutter on the thumb dial and aperture on the front dial falls in line with the real positioning of these things - aperture and then shutter as the light enters the lens and then the camera. I also prefer ISO as a button and turn as on Nikon instead of a dedicated wheel that can get bumped as on the Canon.
But this is just me - I am sure that there are those that think Canon's dials are great and would not want anything else, and that is awesome - more choices = good for everyone.
That said - its the photographer and not the camera that matters most - a great photographer with a point and shoot will likely take more compelling images than a hack with the R3 (or Z9).

If you don’t like the factory defaults for the control dial assignments, then just reassign them to your liking. INRS.

We are all different. Had a Canon Pellix back when they were hot. Could easily gone with Canon if I hadn't gotten a great deal on a comprehensive Nikon kit. No camera is life changing. The constant propaganda drumbeat is tiresome.
Yes it is. And the fact that an old d3300 can do more than 80 percent of the people who take pictures it's just a gas attack.

This has become a thread worthy of Mary Shelley. You have the gift of irony and thread sustainability.
So, I thought that another random question would fit. The many theories about your handle "CHG_CANON" include: "a Chicago Canon user"?
Or, as a programmer, I thought: an esoteric programming concept in persistent object systems where an element is added or removed from a set or collection using a canonical lock (ChgCanon) when necessary.
Or, you're secretly signaling you're intention to change Canon models.
Or, simply a reference to the charging indicator on Canon cameras.
Which is it? The people want to know!

I’ve been a Nikon guy since 1967 though I update every 3-5 years. I went through three Nikons documenting the Vietnam conflict. The only one that survived two tours was the original Nikonos.
A good friend of mine was an AF Photog in Nam. Think he shot Nikon too.

Canon was primarily a consumer camera company as late as the early 1980s. Their mid 70s AE-1 was wildly successful and put them 'on the map' in the market among the big 5 of Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax and Olympus. The 'new' F-1 of 1981 was serious competition with Nikon in the professional market, going against the then Nikon F3. Being the official camera sponsor of the 1984 Summer Olympics (Los Angeles) helped garner attention. The decision to go all electronic and autofocus in 1987 wrote the history we still see today in Canon's global leadership.
