Basically what is the primary differences between the Nikon and Canon Lens
Line?

Does it just boil down to the fact that each as a few lenses that are
marginally better than the other with the remainder being comparable or is
there a significant difference?



With Canon there is usually a lens to suit your needs in their range. With
Nikon, this isn't always the case.

To really simplify things, Canon tends to be better at teles & Nikon
tends to be better at wide-angles. Other than that, neither is, in
general, significantly better than the other.



What is actually meant by better. Is it construction, sharpness, color,
overall image quality, speed or ??????

One works best with Nikon cameras and the other works best with Canon
cameras.


Gee I thought one works best with Toyotas and the other works best with
Hondas.

OK... So which works better with Canon and which with Nikon?

It doesn't matter. Mease hasn't quite figured out which DSLR he is
going to buy yet.

I have decided to wait for the D90 replacement. I want a 3" articulating
lcd and after the D5000 I think it will be coming.

I wouldn't have expected anything else of you.

All of the above in varying quantities. You forgot holiness. Nikon has
more of that because God uses a Nikon.

Honda!

Its really quite simple. Nikon lenses appeal to Nikon enthusiasts who
consider them to be better than Canon lenses.

The lenses themselves and their relative qualities are supremely
unimportant.
