EQUIPMENT
Now I use Canon as my first photographic system. I also have a complete set of Nikon cameras and lenses as backup system when I travel in remote places and I don't want to risk.
Canon now is my first choice. After a lot of problems with my Nikon D300 in Norway and in Valle d'Aosta, I decided to use Canon.
I think that with Canon and Nikon you can get the same quality in your images. The great number of lenses and the best price makes the Canon system the best one for Wildlife photography, obviously from my point of view.
