My nephew has finally gotten bitten by the bug. He is becoming a pretty

him 
some N**** equipment for Christmas. What store do you North Carolinians 
frequent? Anything that can compete with B&H?

I've been preaching the gospel to him (& them), but am not persuasive
enough. 
Besides which ones of us are still with our first system anyway?

You can try Charlotte Camera.  Ask your nephew the next time he is at a
major sports event, count the number of beige lenses v. black (black being
Nikon).  Bet he only counts only 2 black for every 10-12 beige. Tell him the
reason sports pro photogs use Canon is the AF speed and quality super
telephoto optics. Same at rodeos, track meets (Olympics is a good exmaple,
about 80% were Canon shooters), and other events.
