I once shot in red rock canyon (thats the desert) with a sony vx1000, a canon XL1, a Nikon D100 and a comparable Canon digital slr D10 I think?
BOTH the Canon cameras got sand in them from the wind and had to be sent to canon for repair. the nikon and the sony had no problems
THATS were Nikon Cameras shine and thats why they are the choice of photojournalists world wide

Outstanding post.
When I was 16 I was trained as a Nikon Advanced Systems Specialist. In a nutshell, that the title bestowed upon thee who complete Nikon sales training. Since then I have always preferred Nikon over Canon when it comes to 35mm.
However, I think Nikon digital cameras are outdone by Canon's product line. Your point of rugged quality is dead nuts on either way.
