Love my Nikons and would continue to shoot that brand. But to each is own. In the end---it is the image that counts and that starts with the character holding the camera.

Hello all - my first contribution. Lost my Lumix G1 kit when my boat sank in a Med storm two years ago. Replaced on a whim with a different brand. Quickly changed back to a G2. Micro 4/3 is great. The G2 is magic. But I am retired with old non-focussing eyes - the EVF with dioptre adjust and the menus displayed in it are perfect for me. I am new to the Hog, but am enjoying my daily dose of forum topics. Anyway there is a lot of comfort and confidence to be had in staying with what we know. Delderby.

Eh Wabbit, you started a pissin match and so far Nikon has the longer stream. I am most familiar with and happy with my results in Canon. Having said that I really have no brand loyalty and would look at what is available in this rapidly changing field.

I shoot with Pentax and would not change. They have made great strides with there equipment recently. The cameras are rugged.

A given make camera company uses more than one make sensor - and a given sensor may be used in several different make cameras. e.g. Sensors made by Sony are used in several different make cameras.
In the days of film. different film's had different response to colour. One make would emphasize blues, another red's and there were several professional films that had a flat response to colour.
For those who like the photographs taken with film, there are plug-ins for Photoshop (and stand alone programs) that can take a digital picture and put the colour emphasis given by these films. ( works best with raw ).

I would stay with Nikon as my prime camera and Sony as my backup camera, but Leica and Hasselblad would be my choice if I was rich.

Nope. Nikon for me. "Better the devil you know than the devil you don't." I've had Nikons for forty years; no reason to complain.
