ENOUGH ALREADY
Canon, Nikon, Sony, and others make great cameras. They have long histories in different product areas. Is one absolutely better than the others, NO. Does one have an advantage over the others in selective areas, YES. There is no right or wrong choices, there is only a right or wrong choice for you, or perhaps I should say better choice for you. My choice may be different than yours. Just like ice cream flavors - chocolate or vanilla (okay, rocky road, strawberry, ...) but you get my drift. We all like different flavors - that is why BR has 31 flavors and the ice cream section in the grocery store is often 20 feet (6 meters) long or longer.
Cameras are similar. Twice in my life I have switched between Canon and Nikon. I did it for what I thought was a good reason at the time. It was my choice, just like it you choice to buy a Canon, Fuji, Hasselblad, Nikon, Olympus, Phase One, or Sony system. You will pick the system or camera, which at the time of the decision, is right for you.
It is reasonable to ask someone why they like a particular system or camera or to compare cameras (that they have used), but PLEASE DO NOT MAKE GLOBAL STATEMENTS ABOUT BRANDS. All the camera manufacturer make great products, albeit different ones. Let's learn from each other, not attack and put down each other's choices.
