Users of Both Canon and Nikon DSLR

This question is directed at those who have used both Canon and Nikon
DSLR. Do you notice any difference in color rendition between the two
cameras?

Do you notice any difference in image quality (11x14 and 13x19
enlargements) when using equalavent lenses?

Do you have any preferences and what are they and why?

I use my digital cameras mostly for nature photography and in the past
ten years or so I know of several "big name" nature photographers who
switched from Nikon to Canon, usually taking a big loss to dump their
Nikon gear. I don't know of a single Canon pro who dumped his Canon
gear for Nikon, fwiw.

Several dumped Nikon because they were slow to bring out VR lenses,
especially for the long tele-photos (they still don't have this),
others because they felt Canon was ahead with digital bodies,
especially full-frame, and likely to stay ahead because Canon makes
their own sensors and has more money for research and development.

I used to have a list of a dozen or so people who switched but can't
find it at the moment ... however off the top of my head here are a few
of them who sold off their Nikon gear and bought Canon ...

Art Wolfe (switched partly for IS)
Jim Brandenberg (switched for the full frame sensor digital, may have
switched back when Nikon brought out the D2x, not sure)
Erwin and Peggy Bauer
Leonard Lee Rue
Leonard Lee Rue Jr.
Joe and Mary Ann McDonald (they had a long list of reasons for
switching, including faster AF and IS, I can probably find their list
if you need to see it)
Tom Vezo (famous bird photographer)
Ralph Lee Hopkins (switched for faster AF and IS)
Linde Waidhofer

As I said I don't know of a single well-known nature photographer who
switched the other way, from Canon to Nikon.

From your earlier posts it looks like you're interested in the
mid-range lenses and bodies and in this range there's probably not as
much difference.

If you shoot raw with either camera color is what you make it, as it should
be.
Full frame vs APS sensor, Canon vs Nikon glass, 8 bit vs 16 bit color, how
many angels can sit on the head of a pin and is Ford better than Chevy?

Yes there is a difference in color rendition. If you have 2 people
shooting the same event, such as a wedding, you want matching models if
possible, but at least matching brands, so the pics are consistant.
Otherwise it will be noticable that 2 cameras were used.
