That is my understanding from reps and photographers I have talked to. Their loyalty runs to whomever will provide them the camera and lenses and freebies that will get the job done. Both Nikon and Canon will get the job done it is just a question of which company wants the visibility bad enough I guess.

I was at an event recently, and was chatting with a fellow with a Canon pro digital body with a couple of very large lenses. Turned out he worked for AP (although he was freelancing that event), and that was pretty much what he told me. Had he been given the use of Nikon gear, he'd have been just as happy. regards, frank "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" wrote: > OTOH, a question I can see having _some_ value would be to ask > someone, "What is it _about_ the brand you use that you like." > > -- Glenn > > PS: Similarly, when deciding whether to go see a movie, it helps to > know what the friends advising me did or didn't like, not just how > much they liked or disliked it.
