So what do I shoot as of June 2010? My D3 stays locked-up in my studio, mostly because it has selectable 4:5 aspect ratio. For my style of shooting in the field, I prefer the Canon 5D Mark II because it weighs less than any other full-frame DSLR, and it's Total Recall modes let me shoot anything fast without the fiddling required by my Nikons. If I'm shooting something special, like a kid's birthday party in low light, I'll pull out the D3 (very similar to the D700 I would have bought if I didn't already own a D3), otherwise, the 5D Mark II wins on resolution and light weight. With its new v2 firmware, the 5D Mark II screams. Size, weight and ergonomics are everything to me, so the 5D Mark II is what I grab for use in the field. It's colors are superior to the LEICA M9, and to me, color is everything.

Did you know Ken Rockwell is sponsored by Nikon? Silly girl.

Take it from someone who used Nikon at work for 2 years and decided to go Canon. The 5d II is by far superior in IQ, gives you the ability to crop, and renders skin tones beautifully. Ask Lifthkin what he thinks of Nikon (he also has seen it used at work and edits NIkon files all day).

I know it's boring to sell all the stuff you have.. i was about to get the d700 aswell cause of my lazyness, now i'm glad i didn't.

Not to mention the d700 is more expensive..
