Not to get into whether Canon is better than Nikon or Nikon is better than Canon, I suspect that the present sales advantage to Canon has more to do with the fact that Canon supports pros better than Nikon does, and Canon hit the market well before Nikon with what was a superior AF pro camera - EOS v F4 and N90. Now that so many PJs are so heavily invested in Canon, it's going to take some real doing for Nikon to take back the larger market share. (And this thread is indeed more closely related to Leicas and Leica use than threads on World War I British bravery, what an SS member was or wasn't, or, for that matter, the merits of various single malt Scotches. ;-)) > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of > Ruralmopics@aol.com > Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 1999 8:03 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: RE: [Leica] God, no Canon vs. Nikon... > > > > In a message dated 11/30/99 12:25:42 PM, peterk@lucent.com writes: > > >If Nikon were indeed a better product, pray tell > >us why the EOS Lenses and cameras outsell it about 2 to 1? > > I care nothing for the Nikon/Canon debate but I thought this > comment was > interesting.
