I'm posting the following from a user who can't seem to access the list: My own stash is EOS(1D, 1V, and an old 5), but my paper uses Nikon(F5, D1x and D1h) so i use both systems every day. Nikon, when they launched their matrix meterring system, realy did a stroke of genius. The clue is, the matrix systems actualy meters the color, and therfor not just asumes that everything has 18% grey. That's the reason wgy so many claims that Nikons metering system i better. In my experience, it actualy wa, until Canon answered with the 1v, and were back in the game. Today, i'l have to say both Nikon and Canon has equaly excelent metering systems. But...when it comes to Canon's E-TTL, the race is not even close. Altough nikon has a good TTL flash system, Canon's is WAY better. The IS lenses you mencioned yourselv. on those to point Canon is better, as far as i�m conserned. For now, annyway:) Except thise to point's, the debate Canon vs Nikon is purely a mater of taste, in my opinion.
