I'd be just as happy shooting Nikon. Both companies make a fine camera.

Sony.

Why?
- in camera image stabilization
- superior wireless flash implementation
- superior ergonomics (to Canon) in my experience

But it is all a matter of taste. I know people who kick my ass photographically with Nikon and with Canon cameras.....and with Olympus, Pentax and Sony cameras. And I see a lot of really lousy photos shot with Canon and Nikon cameras as well as the others.

None of these brands is "superior" which is the real reason the arguments continue. If any one brand was superior, you could simply demonstrate that and the argument would be over.

The kind of car you drive doesn't make you a better driver either.
