The first was technical performance of the camera and the second was ergomics and control layout. I agree completly that if the control layout or ergomics of A Nikon or a Sony or a Pentax or any other company work better for you than the canon then you should probably use one of those camers. Different people will have different needs and wants and thankfully we have several companie to chose from. As for the technical comparisions, focus ability, color accuracy and screen quality, it seems a somewhat apples to oranges situation when comparing a relatively new camers from Nikon to a model several years old by Canon. I would love to read your thoughts on the focusing and screen and color accuracy of a Mark II compared to the D90. Nikon might when here, but it would be a more equal comparision.
