Dave, I switched from nikon to canon for my primary camera a few years back, I still have my D200, the 70-200 F/2.8 VR ED IF and the 12-24 nikon lenses, But after buying and using the 1Ds mk3 with the L glass I have, I would safely say I'd not move back to nikon for my primary camera again... The difference in lens performance is enough to keep me standing under the Canon tent for years to come... The ONLY time that a nikon lens beats a canon lens (that I've tested) is the 70-200 2.8... The nikkor glass is faster, sharper and generally reproduces colour better (which could have something to do with the camera at the rear of it too).. all the others I've tested (nikkor 300/2.8 vs 300/2.8L, 50/1.4's 12-22 vs canons 10-20 etc..) the canon glass just comes out shining..
After having said that, would I get a tattoo of a 1Ds Mk3 on my forearm (even if I had room on my forearm to do that) Not in a million years...
