What it comes down to is personal preference. I like Nikon as well as many pros. I have a friend that works for Getty images that use Nikon d300 and d 3and loves them. Jungle is 100% right it does not matter what you shoot with as long as the end product is nice. That pic is very funny by the way.

Hey, I agree. But now a days anyone can make a good image... all you need is a computer, a photoshop program and a little photoshop experience. Once you start capturing hundreds of images at a time, if you want to enjoy your time away from behind the lens, instead of sitting behind a computer for days editing hundreds of photos, you might get consider getting some good gear.

Unless you have thousands of posts at some online aviation forum, then you might enjoy spending days at a time sitting behind a computer. In that case, those Nikons will do just fine!

In a good day I will shoot 200-300 picks delete 150 and go from there. Very little time is spent on post processing.

Deleting over 50%? Holy smokes! Wait, you use a Nikon, right?

Next topic: Which brand of typewriter did Hemingway use? Why would someone name their son "Aston"? Discuss amongst yourselves.

All my pictures are taken for fun so I should be using a toy right

I seriously looked at the Canon SLR line and didn't like the feel and general bulk of the cameras in comparison with the Nikon D40. The D40 allows me to keep a SLR in my flight bag.

My wife has a Canon point and shoot that takes amazing pictures so I personally am not brand loyal, my requirements just pointed to the D40.

So then, we're just waiting to see them. Like a bunch of unwashed savages, luddites stuck in the mud or some Pecksniffian Dickinson character. Perhaps just swine snuffling in the dirt for a truffle. Cast down a few pearls and enlighten us. (after this buildup you had best be crapping some gold cufflinks, sweet pea) In the meantime I'll just get back to Trainspotting for a little reality.
