How many have switched brands?

I don't see the need to change, I suppose canon and Nikon are the big players,
and pretty much equal, when you know the workings of your camera, makes life a bit easier,
unless your a gadget geek, and must have the latest technology, stick to what you know,
that's my penny's worth.
 
swapped from canon to nikon - wish I didn't and now am looking for ways to go back - will give it a season and see how it goes, just in case it's just a matter of getting used to how nikon works.
 
I originally started with a Nikon D40 as my first real camera, then move to a Fuji X100.
Found that I missed the quick response AF and zoom of a DSLR so ended up getting a Nikon D7000 with a collection of quality glass.
Ended up selling all the Nikon gear and moved to a Sony A7.
No regrets. :)

Where Fuji are currently lagging behind is in the long lens stakes. They need to extract their digits and get their super-tele on the shelves ASAP!

The 140-400mm should be out by the end of the year hopefully... I'd still like to see a 300mm f/2.8 and a 1.4x teleconverter in the new future! :)

To be honest, the continuous AF needs improving before a new lens comes out. It's no good having decent glass if the AF can't keep up.
 
Canon always had the least inexpensive route to full frame with the 5D Classic and I really loved that camera. But I never really liked the image output of the other Canons I had, they just felt too digital for me whereas Nikon always seemed to have a more 'film like' look.

Weight and portability have now become the most important factor for me so DSLR's are not suitable anymore and as I value AF pretty much above any other feature (but also needed some decent low light capabilities among other things) Sony offered the best solution at the right price being the A6000. I was also looking at the A7 range but looking at all the pros and cons between the two the A6000 was more suited for me and a fair bit cheaper freeing up cash for lenses.

I'm hugely impressed by the A6000 considering its size and price and I also find their buttons and menu system very logical. It will fit in a big pocket also! lol
 
I sold up in 2011 and I was a Canon user.
I've recently got back into photography via a 1000D and an 18-55 lens, my reason for going back to Canon is because I prefered the Canom menu system and I loved the L lenses I use to own and eventually want to upgrade to them again.
I'd rather stick with what I know rather than learn about another manufacturers bodies and lenses.
