Manufacturer of Choice

With emphasis on SLR's, I just thought it would be interesting to see a breakdown of what manufacturers we all use....

Why is Nikon at the top of the list? Canon should've been listed first. End of discussion.

the list is in order based on build quality, not overall sales.... just like if this were a car manufacturer list, toyota would claim the same argument.

I am a Canon shooter - just because that is where I started and I am not about to offload all my lenses/flashes just to switch camps. I like Nikon - the shutter sounds sexy - I like the AF performance - I can't understand their lens lineup.

I find Canon more convenient - their shutter more responsive - the lens lineup is better - AF and metering doesnt seem as good.

As for both - why don't they bring split-circle focus back???

if your camera can change focusing screens you can.

but i dont manual focus that much so i took it out.
