Why I like Nikon

I like Nikon because of the gigantic lens selection. You can take a nikon lens made in the 1980's and put it on your brand new $5000 D3 and it will work and more oft then not, the pictures will come out amazing. There's something about these old lenses that Nikon made, their quality stands the test of time.

So it's great that you can take a Nikon Lens from way back from the AI lens format and use it on any modern nikon camera body today. This gives us Nikon owners a HUGE, GIGANTIC selection of lenses, and because we can get old lenses, we can find some sweet deals.

Another reason why I like Nikon camera bodies is because they were designed by a guy named Mr. Giugiaro, who also happened to design the first generation Lexus GS sedan. So anyway if you take a Nikon camera and hold it in your hand... it just fits, and it fits like a freaking hand made fine italian leather glove and it feels GOOD.

Not only does the glove fit, the controls are right where all your fingers need them to be. So it is comfortable and functional. This is a special apex of the industrial design world that has yet to be caught up to by Nikon's competitors.

So to sum it up, best lens selection, best designed cameras.
