Two Never Before Seen Lenses Coming from Canon This Year
Well...no arguing just sharing my experinece.To me, Canon is more photography's Toyota - not always fashionable but very reliableAs I posted multiple times here, my wife as a Nikonian has an extended gear that she caresses much more than I my Canon gear. But we had to send Nikon cameras and lenses so frequently to repair service (broken mirror box, dead buttons from a few drops of rain, several dead AF drives) that I learned: if you can compare in real life, you know why it is wise to stick with Canon. At least this applies if you need a really rugged gear for wildlife that simply works in harder environments. In the past 15-20 years I only had one repair with my original 7D (dead thumb wheel), that's it.
I've always been using Canon. Since 2000, before that, my father's AE-1. 30V-D60-10D-20D-30D-40D-5D2-5D3-5D4-R7-R52. The only issue I had was with exposure button of....I don't remember, maybe 40D. I do remember it was a typical issue, others had it too. Does it mean Canon being very reliable? Maybe. At the same time what I see, is that camera users can take less than their camera. In hard conditions, ppl just have enough and go to shelter, sit in the airconditioned car or whatever. Most ppl are not Clint Eastwood enough to shoot in rain, cold wind, etc. They give up way sooner than their camera.
As for Nikon or any brand being less reliable, I don't know. I have a friend who live of photography and shoots Nikon every day, never complained. I know a nature photographer, who shoots in jungle and desert and whatever all year long, he used to use Nikon, now uses Sony.
