I've never had the op****tunity to spend much time using Nikon stuff, but 
I've developed a fair bit of film shot in Nikons.  I tended to like the 
results -- assuming the photog knew what the hell he or she was doing.

I really like the "Time-Lapse" feature on many Nikon point-and-shoots.  I 
wish Canon would add that feature in addition to the slo-mo video.  It
might 
be a gimmick, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

But, hey, the brand wars being the way they are, sometimes it's just too 
irresistable to put in a little jab here and there...

Take Care,
