WHO RULES ????

CANON RULES & Nikon DROOLS !!!

Boo-****in-hoo.

Industry leader my ass. The only area that you seem to see a lot of Canon
stuff in is sports. Kind of limited market, especially considering that it
is the worst paying field of photography there is. Even mall photographers
earn more with Seagull cameras than sports photographers do with Canon
gear.

But your writing this thread reminds me of my two year experience with
Canon:

D30 - died after 14 months of average use. Had to threaten legal action.
BG-ED3 grip - I went through THREE of those in two years.
420EX - two of those suckers.
550EX - two repairs.
28-135mm IS lens was very wiggly when I traded it in.

Yep, gotta love those industry leaders!
