The history of Nikon vs. Canon reminds me of the following stories. * In the "System Compatibility" section, this talks about how Canon threw out backward compatibility in 1987 (to the chagrin of existing customers), but gained an all-electronic lens mount that eased future expansion and achieved better compatibility in the long run: https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm#comp https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm#comp * In the "Introduction" section, this talks about how autofocus was superior on the early Canon products than the early Nikon products: https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm https://kenrockwell.com/tech/nikon-vs-canon.htm * Nikon's insanely complicated matrix of body-lens compatibility: https://kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm https://kenrockwell.com/nikon/compatibility-lens.htm . Whereas on Canon, simply "if it fits, it works".
