We have Canons from printers to cameras.

At work, we do have a Nikon microscope. So I think optically, Nikon is probably better. I think the way Canons process image and color is why we went with Canon.

I think I'll stick to Canons because I hear switching between brands can be confusing because they have different layout on their settings.

Neither, I like Olympus DSLR's and Pentax P&S. My Olly is lightweight and just fits my hands better after trying out many, many DSLR's. My Pentax P&S is heavy duty and basically bomb proof- I use it mostly for videos though.

Of the two I do prefer Canon though. Nikons are great, but way overpriced to me. My brother has a Canon, and he took one of the best photos ever of my son when he was a day old. Here it is unedited (just because we can add photos now!)

I have a Canon and I love it. I'm not apposed to Nikon or anything though. I just don't have one.

I had a canon p&s but just recently got a nikon d7000. I loved the canon but am really loving the nikon. I think both have their pros and cons. I think nikon is better for outdoor/wildlife which is majority of what i do and the canon is better for indoor/portrait.

Canon Rebel T3i here.

@zippylef: Niiiiiiiiiice

@lemondrop: Darn, we ran into a snag with the photo upload beta... can you try posting the photo again? Just want to make sure photo uploads are working!

@lemondrop: Fantastic, thanks so much!!

My husband is a Nikon fan, and we currently have 3 in the family (1 dslr & 2 film). I recently found a Canon rangefinder (film) for $3 at a garage sale, and it's a great little camera. I could probably get use to the older Canon film cameras, but I'll stick with Nikon for digital.

Canon all the way here, DH is a filmmaker and wouldn't entertain any other brand.

@MrBee: yay we can upload pics? How?

I have always had Nikon P&S's, but just last week purchased my first DSLR! Went with the Canon Rebel T3i.

Everyone I know with DSLR's has the Canon, so it seemed silly to choose Canon, when I could borrow lenses, seek help/advice from Canon friends. Knew for my level there really wouldn't likely be a difference, so staying loyal to Nikon wasn't a huge factor for me jumping to the DSLR.

So far super impressed and loving this camera! A little 6:30am cottage photo-taking fun attached

I have a Canon DSLR.

i'm a professional maternity/newborn/family photographer (also did weddings for 3+ years), and i shoot exclusively nikon. i've used both extensively, and always found myself being pulled back to nikon. the glass for nikons is superior (though more expensive), the coloring is more natural and true-to-life, and the menus and operations are more user-friendly. canons take some beautiful pictures, but they're just not on par with nikon.
