Now I Remember Why I Chose Canon Over Nikon

I have a Canon 20D, a DSLR, and a Canon SD500, my pocket camera that I can carry around with me everywhere. I've always been partial to Canon digital cameras ever since my first one, the Canon G1 (of the G-series, I still like the G6 better than the G7).

While working on ProductCritic, I've read almost all the reviews for the latest Nikon cameras and, given their fantastic reviews, I had started getting a little nervous that maybe I should be switching brands. On ProductCritic, Nikon has currently captured 3 of the top 5 ratings spots:

1. Nikon D200 (ProductCritic Score = 92)
2. Canon EOS 20D (ProductCritic Score = 91)
3. Nikon D80 (ProductCritic Score = 91)
4. Nikon D70/D70S (ProductCritic Score = 89)
5. Canon Digital Rebel XT (ProductCritic Score = 88)

A post on Engadget entitled "Nikon fesses up to new CCD malfunction problems" shook out the remaining doubt in my mind. It details the latest CCD failures with some Nikon models. Granted that in 2005, CDD problems hit almost all major brands (including Canon and Nikon) but for now I'm sticking with Canon as I've been extremely happy so far with their cameras.
