Hi there,
Im actually a Canon user, 5D2. won't post that in the canon forum as I would be taken for a troll lol.

here is my set:
5D2, 50 1.4, 16-35L 2.8 mk2, 70-200L 2.8IS
I like those lenses and might got for a middle range one later.

Im a bit tired with the 5D2. skin tones not always accurate, dusty, high ISO ok but banding at 6400 in some cases, dead pixels showing up on video...

Maybe for a D3s

Im wondering if switching to Nikon would change my life.

few things I have in mind tough:
- resolution, 12mp sounds a bit short for large printing and post cropping
- what lenses for what budget would match mine (weather sealed, vignetting, sharpness, speed)
- whats the gear reliability?

I shoot a lot of events in low light (concerts, plays, shows), I shoot portraits and landscape. and a bit of everything else (almost everything I can shoot... LOL)

should I wait for a 16mp/18mp FX? dive for a D3s? stay with Canon and wait for a 5D2n or a 1Ds4??
I had lots of problems with the 5D2 (came with dust under the low pass filter, dead pixels showing on videos, lots of dust in the view finder, software upgrades to correct bugs etc...) and I wondering if I would take a move for the next generation.


last thing, even when using the neutral profile in lightroom, my skin tones really show orange which I do not have with C1P4.... But I prefer the workflow with LR and its killing me.
does that happen with Nikon?
