It's a fools game to try to match canon and nikon. Just as one gets an edge on the other, the whole scene is reversed.
Nikon was the really big winner with the D1 - a full three years of monopoly. Then as canon got in the game, they creamed nikon with more great lenses. Then nikon came roaring back and probably has the edge now, especially if you consider the "tank" effect of indestructibility and the far far superior backwards compatibility.
Truth of the matter is that they are both great and once you learn one system and get all the little accessories, there is not much reason to always look over your shoulder at the other. Everyone in this forum was moaning and groaning that nikon would never make a FF body - now canon fans are crying for something to compete with the D800 - it never ends
and that is good for US !
