Most people would give advice based on their experience with a camera. Very few people would have actual experience with all those makes. If I were to give my plug it would be for Canon or Nikon. With preference towards Canon of course. It seems that Nikon may have the sharpest out of camera shot but Canon would have them beat in overall image quality. Canon workflow is much different. Canon seems to lead the pack in inovation. And Canon lenses L or non L seem to hold thier value amazingly well. On ebay some of these used lenses are selling for 98% of brand new. I don't know who buys them.If I had to pay even 90% of brand new cost, I'd just buy brand new.
