I'm not a professional photog myself, but most say the Canon lenses are just better. Quieter, faster and from what I hear sharper.

Watch a sports event and look at the photogs on the sidelines.
Once in a while you get a good close up of a line of them and the majority of the time, the vast majority of them have Canon's with the canon straps around their necks.

I count about 4 Nikon guys. The guy with a single white strip on his lens is using a Canon. The lens is a Sigma. High res: http://dforum.de/Fotos/galerien/originale/03-foto07.htm

I've always wondered why Canon users outnumber Nikon out in the field... and I still don't know why.

Reviving an old thread here. I was at the doctor's office today waiting for a friend. As usual, the selection of magazines consists of the typical 6 month old Sports Illustrated's and Ladies Home Journal. I grab a random SI (happens to be 12/22/08) and I flip through and come across the following photo.

It doesn't say the sporting event though. I count 11 Nikons (all visible) and 11 Canons (10 visible, plus one strap).

For the Nikon guys, what is the lens that most of these guys are shooting? The one with the huge objective....
