In case anyone who follows Scott Kelby and his advice and tutorials is wonder why his stuff is more Canon centric these days!! Here is the reason http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/21/sponsorship-is-why-scott-kelby-switched-from-nikon-to-canon-and-thats-ok.aspx/ Well he does give advice and it doesnt hurt to make a buck or two.

And he is free to use whatever kit he wants to. Depending on a users interests he or she is likely to follow or 'adopt' different remote advisors or almost mentors. Credibility and honesty play a huge part in that. Some guidance and advice can be found on forums like this one but some useful info can be found on sites like Scott's. Personally I find the greatest affinity with Bj¸rn, Naturegraf, http://www.naturfotograf.com and Klaus, kds315 http://photographyoftheinvisibleworld.blogspot.co.uk both of whom have been most helpful when I have had a query. I understand Bj¸rn has made a point in avoiding any form of 'sponsorship' and I am sure Klaus is completely independent. When a personality 'adopts' a manufacturer it must result in their followers tending to follow that lead. Being a bit of a Maverick, I shall continue look at all options, ask opinions, then make my own choices.

If it doesnt suit someone who gets it for free then they can just as easily choose not to use it or dump it for a different model.

Kelby posted a video on why he switched. Better deal I suspect and the grass is always greener.

You may get the odd camera which is ahead of the game or not quite there but overall I really don't see that it's worth lining a camera shops coffers by switching systems on a whim.

The part that really hurt was the remark that "the canon felt like it was designed by Apple" He has recently getting very much into sports shooting. He may well have a point (hard to see it as enough to switch your whole system) that canon has a very small advantage this year in sport shooting. But we've all seen this go back and forth several times since the dominance of the D1. He also argues that the canon speedlites are better. ? Really? Everything I've ever read says that the Nikon ones are head and shoulders the best. Did I miss a generational shift here? A reason that would almost temp me to switch, he didn't mention. The new ProFoto B1 strobes are TTL for Canon ... Nikon to be added sometime later this year. These look like the coolest battery strobes ever made and I'm lusting for a set...they will get cheaper at some point...still on original backorder in many places now.... For my money, the two companies should merge and become Canikon and make us all happy

I would warn anyone wanting to shift from one marque to another is that there is a game of leapfrog being played by Canon and Nikon. However the retailers dont respect your investment just how much cash you have in your pocket/card.

Just passed over to the dark side. Purchased a Canon MP-E 65mm F/2.8 1-5X MF Lens. This is strictly a macro lense and there is nothinl like it in Nikon. I also ordered a Canon to Nikon adaptor which hopefully will save me buying a Canon body. This lens is manual focus anyway, don't know about the f stops yet. Here is the lens http://www.ebay.com/itm/331110402196?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_198wt_1429
