My sentiments were on using Leica R lenses on Canon Eos. With Nikon, you would not be able to do so. Something to do with flange distance, there is no room for an adaptor, you lose infinity focusing. So I chose the Canon bodies which are really good plus I get to keep using my Leica R lenses. If I were to buy from scratch, it will be a toss up between the Nikon and Canon. For what I love to photograph, I need long lenses and Canon might win becuase of the Image Stabilisation technology. By the way, the Leica R lenses especially the Modular APO-telyts have very close focusing distance which is very useful. The 800F5.6 goes down to below 4 metres. Hope that helps.
