Personally I shoot Canon, that being said I think you should go with Nikon. #1 reason is you can borrow Vic's lenses. lets say you guys are shooting the same event, someone can use the long lens and someone could use the fish eye If someone forgets something there might be a chance your equipment would integrate. There is a chance your battery packs might interchange (do the homework), this could come in real handy if someone forgets to charge there shit LOL. You see where I am going with this, it will give you some options as a team to make it happen.

I use a sony NEX-5N. it is from the mirrorless class of cameras so it s really thin and lightweight. Takes great shots but compact enough to carry in a baggy shorts pocket.

1st pic is a shot of joey getting away!! 200mm zoom all the way out.

What we really need is a hotboat.com photographer. I like that idea better than loaning out a $10K lens

I'll use my camera and be the photographer. All I ask for is a mere 5k per month salary and an American Express card for travel.
This way you won't have to worry about that lense expense.
BTW, I'm not a good photographer, but I could learn.

We shopped for months and months and months....to the point of Best Buy and other camera stores knowing us when we walked in lol ...we ended up getting the Canon T4i, which we love, and takes sone pretty good photos (I think). A camera guru told us its like Chevy and Ford, just each person's preference. I think the magic is in the lens that's why they cost so damn much! Good luck with whichever you choose! 😁

Canon makes a 28-300 zoom. Pretty much will do 90% of everything. Nikon does not have an equivalent lens. So if you're only going to buy one camera a versatile lens is a must.

Ok so with that being said then maybe I'm going with canon because I'm not going to invest in a ton of different lens. I'd rather have the 28-300 (one lens). And I like Chevy better.
