Have you considered joining the dark side?...

What happens when Canon introduces the 'super' high res DSLR that simply blows away the others? Sell the 'others' and return to Canon?
We are all gear heads to some degree but gear is secondary to design, controlling the light and your artistic ability. Look at what the masters have done in the past with limited technology.
Wish you all the best. Gee, what Canon glass you have up for sale?

Agreed. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the top brands of DSLR's. They all have the capacity to make magnificent images. It's nice when the tools have all the bells and whistles... but specs don't take great images...

:-\ I was not impressed from the first shot.
Raw noise levels were worse than my 40D and I had visible banding right smack in the MIDtones at low ISO!

some more than others
specs define the limits of what you can do with the captured image and some of us can tell you, after shooting other systems, Canon's images are a bit more limiting in post. We're not talkin' snapshots here. And you can't always control the light.

As mentioned before it has crossed my mind and it is not because I think the dark side is better, but I think Canon is losing the plot in terms of getting their products out to the clients.
But to change the topic a BIT... Would you advise someone else to rather join the dark side looking at the entry level DSLR cameras and current availability?

I used to recommend Canon entry level DSLRs without hesitation for newbies.
Now I have to temper that with, "What kind of shooting will you be doing?" Because the D5100 and now the D3200 can fit slightly more advanced novices who intend to do some post-processing and will have some appreciation for the cleaner raw files from the sonikon bodies.
Canon's Rebels are, of course, still a good choice too. but anyone aspiring to grow beyond this as a first camera has a bit more to think about now. it's good to have options, confusing tho it can be.
