Why Canon?

Re: Why Canon?

About five years ago I was using Olympus DSLR cameras and lenses.  But Olympus was falling behind the competition.  I was originally ready to buy a Nikon system, but because of flooding in SE Asia I thought I would look at Canon.

After I purchased my Canon T2i (550D) camera I was very pleased with what I could get, especially in low light conditions.  I liked the Olympus colors so I did a comparison between Olympus & Canon and found they were nearly the same when taking o-o-c JPEGs.  I also liked Canon's o-o-c JPEGs.  Canon's sensor dust protection seems to be good too.

I had some fears when leaving Olympus to go over to the Canon side.  But after a few weeks of use, I knew that I was going to be using Canon gear for some time.  I find no reason to leave Canon at this point.  I wonder if some people leave, just because they think "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence".  They change systems and unless they improve their photographic skills, I don't think a lot of them will see any improvement.
