Nikon vs Canon, Why do pros prefer Canon?

Jan 22, 2008

Search function isn't working so I will ask a question I am sure has been asked before:

Why is it that it seems more sports and action professional photographers use Canon equipment than Nikon? Does it have to do with the fact Canon seems to have a wider range of telephoto lens available than Nikon? Do the cameras have bigger buffers? Why do I see so many more white Canon lenes out there than I see the black Nikon ones?
