hmmm. As I have an OM with a few lenses (inherited from dad), and I have an
e500 with just the two kit lenses, it is time to start getting more lenses
and/or a better body. Soon anyway. I don't want to buy loads of lenses only
to swap to Canon or Nikon down the track then be stuck with a lot of
devalued and useless lenses. Would be fine if I wanted as a back up kit, but
I doubt I would.

For some reason the Nikon's do jump out at me over the Canon - and I really
like the look of the D200 as compared to betwen the 40d cannon and the 5d.
Now they have the E3, it seems long term development with nikon may rival
canon finally.


My friend (a pro photographer) said Nikon cannot match cannons versatility
and range of accesories... Any opinions?
