Ah yes Greg... but this argument suggests that either the Nikon or Canon camera is the rental pair - and neither are. They are each either high end Rossignols or Fischers (i.e. different brands), and definitely not "rentals".
I'm a Nikon shooter from way back - and I mean the 70's. I've always preferred Nikon gear because the family had it. We never had cause to try Canon.
Years later, although I've swapped allegiance to Canon, (5D-II) I still prefer the ergonomic qualities of a pro Nikon. They're rounder and feel nicer to me to hold. I also way prefer their menu systems and general handling - by far. That's me - it's bit the same with everyone else. As far as technical merit goes - apples for apples, I'm not up on them these days enough to know. I do love my full-frame 5D-II though - especially with the L-series Canon offer. The best landscape camera I've ever had.
