Which is best Pro DSLR-Nikon or Canon?

Tricky. I'd say Nikon's D3x but it's, as always, very close with Canon's 1D

If you're truely talking "professional" cameras then I'd go with Canon. The full frame cameras, like the
5D mark 2 start at about $3, 500. With a lens

Try them both out and decide what feels better for you. I have used both of them, and they are both pretty similar, but I prefer the Canon.

Real pros are going to be divided between the two camps. It used to be that Canon dominated the sports world and Nikon the news photographers, but that has blurred. It comes down to what you are used to and what feels better in your hand, and that requires you to use both. If you really want a pro-line set up, you are going to spend $5, 000 or more (maybe way more) with the camera and lenses. For that kind of investment, you should have a good idea which one you like better, not a random sampling of people on the internet.

I think s a leader in speed and resolution the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV.
It captures the extraordinary. Freeze action at 16.1 megapixels and at
10fps or with Full HD video http://www.amazon.com/...B002TG3ZYQ

Hopefully a pro is going to go for low noise at high ISO if they shoot news or sports. A disciplined shooter is going to be shooting in the single shot mode to control when the shutter opens, not hoping that the shutter is open at just the right time when shooting a 11 fps.

Here is what I see on the sidelines at football games and under the basket when shooting basketball.

In the past four years, the tide has been shifting toward the Nikon D3 and now the D3s. Not only can they shoot at ISO's like 6400 or 12800 with less noise than found on some dSLR's shooting at 800 ISO, users have noted that the shutters on the D3, have lasted up to over 1, 000, 000 cycles and are still working just fine. Of the eight shooters at the last basket ball game I shot, three were using Canon 1Ds, Mark III's. The rest were using Nikon D3 or D3s cameras

Bottom line?

Cameras are tools and which tool you need as a photographer will be based totally on how they perform for you as a photographer, not some emotional attachment to a brand. I have used Leica's, Canon's and now Nikon's. Each was chosen to perform for specific assignments and they performed well.

As you know, cameras no longer are used by photographers for decades. In the past, the film contained the technology, so using a 40 year old camera made no difference. Now, with technology the way it is, we're required to buy a new camera every three to five years to keep our equipment up to date.

While changing camera systems is an option, it is an expensive option. This is why it is so important that you spend a lot of time, using both brands under different conditions, especially in the conditions you expect to be shooting in over the next decade or so.

I just lucked out. I was using Nikon's over the past decade because most of my work was concerned with scientific and industrial photography and in those arenas, Nikon lenses and systems were still in place because they did the job and as you may have guessed, when shooting for industry or science projects, the photographs are controlled and precise; a successful day of shooting might mean shooting only ten or twelve shots. There was and is, no need for shooting at 11 fps or fast auto-focusing lenses.

Now I just happen to have a system that sports the 1) highest quality dSLR sensor for shooting in a studio (the D3X) and 2) the best performing sensor when shooting at high ISO's (D3 and D3s).

Which you eventually choose is up to you and should be based upon your needs as a photographer, not based upon a popularity contest held by people with an emotional investment in one brand or another.

Do not feel pressed to make a quick choice. If it takes a year to finally decide, then good enough. In the end your investment will be worthwhile and you will never look back with any regrets.
