I will vouch for nikons... Canon make good lenses, not good cameras... I am stuck in a horrible world... Either have awesome lenses, and photos that always require a tweak here and a tweak there in photoshop, or have slow unresponsive lenses and a camera that takes stunning photographs every time (provided the lens has focused in time...)
I want a D3 modified to take EF lenses... DROOL!!!
Back on topic, thats a stunner of a macro Ving! very very nice indeed.
