Where to begin? I started shooting digital pics w/a Canon G3 two years ago. A nice little (albeit expensive) p-n-s. After a year of use, I purchased a Nikon D2h (since all my glass is nikon). Of course then Canon debuts the 1DMKII, at 8mgs - yikes. Anywho, I am mulling over the BIG switch, and was looking for feedback from anyone out there who has made the switch.
I shoot sports and have been disappointed with the AF of my D2h. (I've experienced "back focus" problems) It seems as though I could always rely on my F5's, and I thought that the new AF in the D2h was supposed to have better algorithms, I'll stop rambling. . . I'm just disappointed in Nikon.
My questions for the Canon forum has to do with the performance of the 1DmkII, shooting sports specifically. Typically how many keepers do you get, ttl flash, AF, contrasty scenes, etc. . .
I've read numerous threads on dpreview.com on both Nikon and Canon gear. If I make the switch it will be after the fall cyclocross season, which will give me the winter to accumulate bodies, lenses, etc. . . and get used to Canon's ergonomics.
cheers,
Todd
