I've often notices a lot of comments regarding all brands of cameras and lens about soft focus. I think it has more to do with the person holding the equipment than the camera/lens. Many mention soft focus at long distances and I suspect they never heard of a tripod.
My former boss's admin complain about fuzzy photos until I loaned her a monopod. Suddenly her photos were MUCH sharper.
I use Canon DSLR Equipment however I do have a Nikon FM2 film camera left over from film days that I still use on occassion. For many years I was a Nikon user until Digital where I switched to Canon.
Both manufactures are top runners and keep the improvement of their equipment advancing. Comptetion is wonderful.
Ok, I just went through and counted the first camera that you said you use in your list. It is close
Nikon 13 Canon 10 Didn't include all the extra cameras. I have a Canon G12 put it's not my primary.
I have shot Canon since I picked up a SLR. Started with a Canon EF-M, moved to a Elan 7, then onto the D-SLR 10D and now my 5dmii. I have seen the soft focus issue Ninja speaks of, yet when I do MANUAL focus it's all beautiful. Makes me work for my macro shots. Although when photographing my kids it is a bit annoying, cause they don't stay in one place but I usually don't have an issue with tracking, it's there but it's rare.
I am curious about Nikon and would love to try one out for a day and see the difference but I believe both are very good.
Macro you pretty much have to use Manual focus. I know I don't use a tripod as much as I should. I'm lazy that way. But if you shoot fast enough depending on your lens you get fairly sharp and you always need to sharpen in Photoshop anyway , RAW needs everything done to it.

Nothing like not knowing what you're talking about.

The ol' hammer analogy holds true when it comes to film cameras (which you seem to own a lot of). Not so much with digital.
Film "sensors" haven't really changed in decades upon decades. Sensor technology changes yearly. So a 50 year old camera will use basically the same mechanisms as a 15 year old (film) camera).
A better analogy would be a computer. You can surf the internet on an older computer, you can even edit videos etc. Just a newer better one will make it faster/easier to do the harder things.
