Just curious, why did you switch brands?

Well, it wasn´t a direct switch. I had discovered, and immediately
bought, the then new Leica Digilux 2. That camera made me sell all
my other gear (mainly the Canon D60 with 3 lenses), and I used it
exclusively for almost 3 years.
Finally the urge to get a real fast-acting camera for dogs &
grandchildren, plus macro for flowers, got the best of me. Since I
had no "legacy" lenses tying me up, I could choose brand freely, and
the new Nikon D200 seemed to suit me better than either the Canon 30D
or even the 5D, so Nikon it was. So far I´ve no regrets.... BTW,
shot my youngest son´s wedding yesterday with that D200 (ordeal by
fire, indeed!).
I should add, the Digilux 2 is by no means mothballed; it is a
remarkable, semi-compact camera with a fabulous lens, and it will
continue to see lots of use.
