I bought canon because
>Best cameras for birding/sports/action/etc, e.g.:
>AF
>Framerate
>(other types of photography such as landscape you can use simple techniques like multiple exposures to get all the DR you'd ever need, but there are no techniques to get around insufficnetly fast AF or too low FPS for capturing action)
>Best resale value / market by far
>[hand in hand - an ecosystem I can expect to see other photos using and thus talk with about specifics, as well as share gear/etc)
>Good lens value (e.g. not massively overpaying because niche ecosystem)
>A company that is a camera company, not a generic electronics company that will make bad camera decisions or even sell off their camera brand at any random point because the CEO or investors don't like the ROI compared to say, video game consoles
>A company that was financially solvent and not hemorrhaging money (cough nikon)
Why should I have chose something else?
