I got a blue ribbon in July 2011 with a Nikon D3x. That is within 100 challenges yet the D3x is not listed in your stats, so it is the same as a D50. |
Was last 102 ribbon winners not last 100 challenges...so only last 34 challenges. |
yeah  TonyT you are better of throwing that D3x ( contact me for a proper disposal ) and getting D50... |

| Dont get me wrong but I think Canon and Nikon make very good cameras and lenses. I expect their are more Canon users on here than anything else because they are so popular from their bottom end to the super high end cameras. So you would expect to see Canon users win a majority of the ribbons, I just find that one camera winning 30 ribbons in that short of time outstanding. The next 4 cameras have to equal that of the Mark II. |

Frankly, as I am constantly being told by my Canon-totin' bf, Canon does tend to have a lot more lenses to choose from than Nikon, so I think that's one of the big reasons that it's such a fave. And you do see lots of pros using them at sporting events, they always show the sea of white L-series glass at all/any football game.
So just more exposure all around seems to be the reason for the skew imho. |

It really, really is a great camera and very affordable nowadays but for about the same price you could alternatively get a Canon 60D and win many, many more ribbons. :) hehehe |
But to sell one's soul for a few virtual ribbons just doesn't seem right.

Well, I got 6 out of 10 of the ribbons for the Canon 7D.
I guess that means I need to stop bitching about how horrible it is!@!! lol |

Nooooooo, maybe those who own Nikons are better at editing their photos. |
Nooo, maybe those who own Nikons are better at shooting at lower ISOs as noise at high ISOs still tend to be the Nikon bugaboo.
Having said that I ribboned with a then-recently purchased D90 and a Sig-for-Nikon w/a lens that I bought from vikas... |

I claim 3 of the 5 for the D700. |
and I claim the other 4!
DustDevil, tell the truth, how much Canon paid you to skew the statistics? :)
my bad, it is 102 ribbons, i.e. only 34 challenges! Then indeed, I only have two :(

No, the 'conclusion' there is people who take photography seriously are also likely to spend time looking at what the best gear to buy is. If you give a Sony DSLR to one of the frequent ribbon winners on this site, I'm sure they'd continue to win ribbons.
People should also consider that making observations such as; "wow, 50 Canon's to 10 Nikon's" isn't actually that significant when you consider the statistic represents about 5 users. |
I didn't really mean this to be taken seriously. In truth I'm surprised at how few ribbons were won by other brands. |

It will have been a medium format film camera. |

I used a small Canon (Canon S3 IS P&S) to get the first 4 ribbons this year . Then I was too ashamed when other photographers looked at me in the field so I bought a Big Canon(Canon EOS 600D/T3i Rebel ) to grab 3 more... |
The little cameras are KILLER for macro, huge DOF, much easier to get a decent focus zone. It's no accident all those first 4 ribbons were macros :-) Being good at what you do helps too, LOL...

Canon really shines as a sport camera, and we all know that DPC is a sport... |

Total amount of Canon Ribbon winners in this list = 79!
Total amount of Nikon Ribbon winners in this list = 22
I am thinking we finally have some hardcore proof that Canon is clearly the best camera brand ;-)
Go Canon! |
The best photographers buy Canon.
