If you lost all your camera equipment and you now have the opportunity to start fresh, would you change brands?

That actually happened to me in 1995, and no, I didn't change brands then, and wouldn't do so today either.

Have been Nikon since 1978 and did had all stolen at one time. Replaced it all and still Nikon all the way. Has always been good for me but I have many friends that feel the same way about Canon. Still drive the same make truck since 1979 as well. Just stuck on what is familiar I think.

actually would look real hard at pentax. they kept the af motor where it belongs in the body, and put IS where it belongs again in the body. Plus I like that they are getting creative and thinking outside the box.

I was out with a friend last night who has a 60D and I just looked at it like how do you shoot with that thing? LOL. I think Nikon makes more sense(for me anyway).

I think that the trouble with digital is you get locked in. In the film days you had your cam it was one thing. Then you had film that was another. Today you got gear and the film is locked inside your camera. You can photo shop everything you if want to change the look, but not the film. This is sad part about digital. I find it hard to choose a photograph to change it's color or the look about it, once you seen it. So I'd say no, I'd love to try something different given the fact that the sensor locks you into a look. That brand is going to create that same look through out the line of gear they sell. Nikon has there look, Canon has there's. Sony, Pentax, etc. This is good and bad, cost of gear is a limiting factor to trying different things and styles. I believe Each camera gives you a different feel and look and this limits your creativity if you get lock into gear.
