I have said this before and will say it again. The real difference is in dependability.

If you are only going to use it in the studio either one is fine. If it will ever be subjected to a harsh environment Nikon hands down.

I did a shoot in Red Rock Canyon in AUG 114 degrees constant dry wind...like being in front of a blow dryer all day. I was using a sony video camera and a Nikon still camera. My buddy was using a canon xl1 and a canon still camera.

both canons got sand in them from the wind and died

the sony and the nikon still work great to this day....that told me all I ever needed to know about why Nikon has been the choice of photojournalists worldwide for decades.
