I have to say Nikon. Hands down. My Nikons have outperformed everything else I've ever used, and have some of the best lenses available.
When I travel, I still shoot film, I still love working with film and my travel rig is an old Nikon FE2 that has been abused half way around the globe and has never stopped working.
I was shooting a civil unrest in San Sebastian in 2000 and the camera was knocked out of my hands and fell two stories to the street. Amazingly I recovered it and while the lens was destroyed, the camera didnt even need service. Thats why I use Nikon.
I dont know how much plastic is in some of the newer Nikons, but the metal bodied Nikons are extremely rugged and will take a great amount of abuse in some pretty bad situations... I can go on and on with stories of the abuse this camera has taken... Nothing but a Nikon for me.
