agreed, I have looked at the nikon system. Its very promising but I dug alittle deeper to see If i'd REALLY Switch. What is keeping me here is the prime glass. Thats Really about it,
- Canon 135mm f/2 Performs better than the nikon 135mm f/2 DC and is a whole lot cheaper.
- Canon 50mm 1.2L performs better than any 50mm from 1.2-2.8, Which I love and Nikon doesnt quite match.
- Canon 24mmL II is alot cheaper than nikon alternative and equal IQ.
The catch is now is that canon makes up this savings over nikon with their new Bodys. Jeez, $849 for just a T4i? Seriously...
Nikons bodies are cheaper but they get you on the glass. Flash wise, nikon is alittle cheaper but canons 600RT is ridiculously priced. Almost make me want to just use PW's.
Can't switch, but with all these new bodies from nikon offering alot for less, Makes me stare at my aging 5D...

Canon 135L has no real competitor in Nikon's lineup but I disagree about the 50mm. I mean, unless you really can't live without f/1.2 there are many nice alternatives. Also, 24mm is a replaceable focal lenght. There are 21, 25 and 28mm by zeiss, a new 28mm by Nikon, or even 35mm IMHO doesn't make that lot of difference.

LOL Me too! Ebay'ed for 80$.
You do realize the T3i and T2i released at the exact same price for the body. And that the T1i I believe was $799 for the body. It's not even like the 5dIII where there was a big price jump, its the exact same pricing as previous generations.RLPhoto said:$849 for just a T4i? Seriously...

Rodknee said:There appears to be a strong view on the forums that Nikon lenses cost more at the moment than Canon. It seems that Canon are charging a lot more for their very latest lens releases compared to their earlier versions even allowing for 'original' lens prices. So if they replace a few more lenses in their range could Nikon/Canon lens cost situation be reversed?
The deciding factor for me over the Zeiss 21mm was the f/1.4. While it isn't something I shoot much of, I wanted a faster wide-angle for aurora photography last year (I need to sort out another trip).RLPhoto said:Zeiss - No AF, No good for me. Landscapers will love it though.

I know! be careful with that rear dial! Its dangerous to turn it on without the user fully knowing what it does. :
