Discuss. What should I buy? Will one of them make me more irresistible to the opposite sex than the other? Will one of them make Jennifer Lawrence return my phone calls? I have heard Canon is objectively better than Nikon in every way, for what it's worth.

Rampant buyers' regretfanboyism is encouraged here for this weekend only.

Neither. If you want to be irresistible to the opposite sex you need an ultra-large-format camera.

If you want to make sure people know your lens is expensive, you should go with Canon.

If you want a sensor made after the moon landing, Nikon is probably your best choice.

Strip naked and cover yourself in them. Make sure you use the brush to get in to all the tight and difficult to reach spots. Roll around on a very large canvas. Become the darling of the art world. Win the Turner prize. Marry Jennifer Lawrence.

It is true that there is no pixel like a Canon pixel, it is mind blowing when considering what magic that Canon have in their camera system.

no because being a clown would imply that i'm allowed near children or that someone would invite me to a party

An adaptor to use Sony FE-mount lenses on Canon bodies is the way to go.

There are no canon equivalents to any nikon lenses because you have to mount canon ones on a bad camera.


FAKE EDIT: nvm I forgot you can adapt canon lenses to Fuji XF mount so I am wrong, all you need is an adapter.

technically nikon bears a closer relation to this than canon does

'pentax' was considered and rejected as a name for nippon kogaku's slr division before they settled on nikon

also you can sort-of-not-really-also-hold-onto-it mount nikon lenses on pentax film bodies. bayonet doesn't lock though.
