This was my feeling re: Nikon quality and not to be a PITA, I am unlikely to buy a Sony. I know DPreview raves about some Sony models but I feel like Canon and Nikon have a better understanding of a photographers needs and have a more refined user experience. In terms of pixel peeping, I tend to agree about Nikon having an edge but realize Nikon and Canon both have their pros/cons and each have models that hit and some that miss, and it’s largely a personal about which of the two options are best for the individual.
