I use both brands, Nikon and Canon.
Nikon crippled their cheap camera line up by removing the AF motor within the camera body, (D40, et. al.) therebye limiting the precious AF function to only NEW AF-S designated lenses. The old Nikon AF lenses are useless on these bodies for AF function.
Canon did this a long time ago when it began the EOS legacy and abandoning the FD lens line up. Nikon is 25 years too late in doing this, which irritates me because I have so many old Nikkor lenses. Canon, in turn, have 3 sensor sizes for their digital DSLR cameras which is confusing to newcomers to the brand and I would not even want to discuss that here.
Both Nikon and Canon are leading edge. Choosing one over the other, you still win. As long as these two wrestlers slug it out for supremacy, we the users are the winners.
