Meltdown
It's been a tough few days on my gear. One of my D200s, the newer one, has a shutter problem rendering it useless. I dropped my 80-200 and smashed the front element into the lens putting it to the useless column. Then, I dropped my 17-55 for the twentieth time. Now, if I find myself using it anywhere in the 45 to 55 range, it gets stuck there until I bang it really hard on the end that fits into the camera body. Let me tell you, that's a bit nerve wracking. And finally, this morning, the last zipper handle on my camera bag broke so to close the thing I have to grab the little mechanism by pinching and inching it along it's path.
It just might be the Gods telling me it's time to move to Canon.
Make pictures.

I've been a Canon user for quite a while both for photography as well as documentaries (I did start with an Olympus OM2, but that was film). I like their products as well as their customer support...
...then again, it might be the gods telling you to slow down?
NO DONT DO IT!
Oh yea come to papa! Buy from Digital Labrador- Camera GOD
Do it Clay! It's better on the Canon side. Btw, is that shutter so bad that the shop can't even fix it?
Clay,
I am a former Nikon shooter and migrated to Canon when I went digital. I am very happy with the switch though I do miss the "feel" of Nikon's bodies/controls. Although I don't think you would be disappointed with Canon if you decide to make the switch.
That said. Photography is both a technical and creative endeavor. I suggest that you only make the switch if, in some way, the product or vision and/or the process of the interpreting that vision is easier to accomplish.
Well that’s my view from here in the cheap seats anyway.
Thanks for the blog and keep posting!
