Theres a reason photojournalists world wide swear by Nikon.
I once shot in Red Rock Canyon on a breezy day in sept....(read HOT wind)
we had a Nikon D-100 a sony DX1000 and a Cannon XL1 and a Canon high end D35 (dont recall the model) Both the Canons got sand in them from the wind and died
Both the Nikon and the Sony still work to this day

I have to disagree. It depends on which Canon or Nikon you shoot with. I just got rid of a 1ds mark 2 and that was a battleship. I now have a 5d mark 2 and that is more of a consumer camera.
Believe me I have shot a whole buncha cameras in way worse environments than a walk in the park through red rock. Nikon used to own the journalism biz until Canon came out with a little white thing called a 600 mil lens and that was the deth knell of Nikon's supremacy.
When it comes down to this biz, its up to you which camera you choose. I prefer Canon L series glass and Canon is backward compatible with its lenses. Nikon is not. They toss in inaccessible features to upsell their new lenses. That is a bit of an issue, but not a deal breaker.
