I don't have many Canon lenses. (18-55 II, 28-135 IS, 50 1.8) It would not matter if I get Nikon, because they make that 18-200VR lens.
Yeah - I dont see a compelling reason there for you not to switch.
 
Makes me weak at the knees.

So, Idmelsa, will you be saving for the D90 now? :D

If I had to get a digital cam right now, it would be this one.

It uses the D300's chip. :cool:
The screen is awesome. (920000 pixels, 3")
The lowlight is awesome. :cool:
Nikon make the amazing 18-200VR lens. (27-300mm, in 35mm terms)
