I am an experienced diver who feel in love with UW photography about 2 years ago. I think I found a home so to speak, and wish to become a bit more serious about it. I am slowly saving my pennies to buy a mid range DSLR and a housing to go with it, hoping that by the time I have the scratch the limiter to my photos will no longer be my talent but the rig I currently use (Sealife DC500).
At any rate, what brings me here is that I notice far and away more pros and serious amatures seem to favor Nikon over any other brand of camera. What is the reason for this? I have a couple of SLR now, one film and one digital, both Cannon, and they seem ok. I do not have the knowledge base to look at technical specs and see a decided advantage.
But I see more mentions of Nikon in photo credits than other brands. Even on this board. So, from Nikon users, why should I switch? Is there really an advantage to Nikon, or is it more of thing where Nikon owners just love their cameras a little louder than other people?
Like most people I am interested in the most bang for my buck, and 3rd party accessories are a plus.
Thanks...
