When I was in the market for an AF camera, I was initially considering Nikon,
mostly because of the reputation of their optics. I was talking with a
co-worker who used them, and he explained how they used one motor in the body to
wind the film and focus the lens. Being in the business of maintaining tape
recorders, I came to the conclusion that dedicated motors for each function was
the way to go, and more or less dismissed Nikon at that point. (This was
pre-Silent Wave)
Oddly enough, I bought an Elan II because it was capable of mid-roll rewind with
leader out, and I had been burned in the past doing this on my previous camera.
Nikon didn't offer this feature of a comparable model.
My friend also mentioned the myth that all Nikkor lenses will fit on any Nikon
body. It turns out that they may fit, but they won't work. Canon may have
annoyed FD users by changing mounts, but they seem to have done it right.
In summary, I think I made the right choice, for some of the wrong reasons, but
am very satisfied with my Elan II and EOS 5.
