the only thing nikon has over canon is in the flash department... that's why most serious sports shooters use canon and most wedding photographers use nikon.
o really?????????
How about autofocus? canon AF sux compared to nikon
High ISO? Canon cannot stand nikon
what do I use if I want to shoot a soccer game at a wedding reception?
seriously though.......I had heard about canon flash issues.......and I'm planning on grabbing the 580 EX II Speedlite.......anyone have one of these?

its good flash, cannon dont make batter flashes then this one.
Hmm I have bought a Samsung (Pentax) kit for only $400, and I can use a huge number of M42/K-mount manual lenses, including Soviet and East-German. Some of them are quite interesting. You have to get a body above amateur class (like D200 that works fine with AI lenses) to use MF lenses with metering, if you can use them at all.
Anyway, popular lenses like 70-300 or 18-70 cost the same for any brand. Even here in Moscow you can buy almost any brand.
Flashes from Sigma cost absolutely the same for any brand. So do Sigma lenses. Third-party battery packs usually cost much cheaper.
Pavel, nikon can use old lenses, canon as well. But when come to pro grade and new lenses other brands are rare or very expensive.
If you have time you can play woth old manual lenses, but when timing is important MF cant beat good AF.
Sigmas are not that good as brand flashes, special when comes to canon and nikon.( i had sigma for pentax) For amateur they are fine.
Show me zooms for pentax witch can stand 70-200 f2.8, 80-200 f2.8, 18-200 vr, 24-70 f2.8 or canon L series.
