What level of technology are you speaking of? Those wonderful AFS lenses? Oops, I mean those wonderful Nikon versions of USM lenses. Multiple focus points? Or do you mean the color meter, which only the F5 has. Maybe you mean the flash system. But E-TTL is pretty darn good, and many Canon lenses also relay the focusing distance a la Nikon "D" lenses. The only place that Nikon really wins is, in my opinion, body construction (and that's why I bought into Nikon, although I will probably buy a Canon too). I like the solid feel of Nikon, although polycarbonate is also pretty durable. As for the color metering, I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with the job my F90x does, and I'm not sure the F5 would save very many shots for me. Oh, and I love how Nikon technology has put DOF preview on all bodies, just like Canon. It's a good thing you don't have to spend $700 for the privelige of having DOF preview. That would really suck! >So lets cut it with the canon rhetoric and let the >facts speak for themselves. canon only exists because of its zealots, who >will buy any matter of junk that canon throw out at there feet and says >"take these idols and worship them" because they know that they will. >canon is all about marketing and not about photography. FYI...the word >canon means "religious order" or "ecclesiastical law"...look it up! >SCARY!!! huh?

Canon must have a truly amazing marketing technique if they have convinced so many pros to switch to Canon, even though it is apparently a truly inferior brand. My god, to see all those white lenses during World Cup matches! I dont know how so many photographers manage to practice false idolatry AND pay their bills using Canon equipment. Hey, maybe it's because they are good photographers and chose the equipment that best gets the job done.
