After 35 years using Nikons I just find the controls so easy to locate in the dark, when I tried a Canon I found myself frustrated trying to locate the controls, image wise Canon and Nikon are just both so good it is personal pref which you go with. I think if I wanted one for astro I too would go Sony A7s.

My personal preference is for a heavy camera. Currently a Nikon D3, 17-35 F2.8 and a 50 F1.4. Solid as a brick outhouse, I dropped it the other day on a building site, other than a dent on the filter rim not a mark on it.

On the lens selection side, I stay away from zooms with a large range, and actually only use IF zooms where the filter ring does not rotate and the lens does not vary in length as I found some like the 24-120 actually 'bend' a little when zoomed out to 120 and the front elements extend out.

My only zooms are the 17-35 and 80-200 AF-S F2.8s
