Would you stick with the same camera brand...

I would look at other brands.  I like experimenting with stuff that is new and different to me.

I'll say with what I have, a windfall would be nice to get another lens.

Must not have had much other gear in terms of other lenses et al if it all was taken from his car.... I wouldn't be able to fit all of my gear in a bag in my car.... Not by a country mile... That said, it would mean getting familiar with a number of different buttons/dials/menus that the olde system put in different places. As long as they had this as a hobby & not a profession, that's their prerogative. I wouldn't change.

:agree:
Yeah I am pretty much good with what I am using. I have tried a couple of relatives Canons, and did not like them much. That and for me to change over all of my glass to another system would be cost prohibitive. But as Scott said it is his choice, so more power to him.

I've used Canon and its a quality line, just different. Been shooting with and happy with Nikon for forty five years. However, there is one thing Canon offers that is in a class of its own, and if you're a macro shooter you know what I'm referring to. The MPE65 lens is simply the most awesome close up lens made and in skilled hands produces macro images like no other.
If I had the money, I'd own a top notch Canon body and that lens in addition to my Nikon gear. 

Why so serious?

I'm not opposed to different brands.  Honestly, I most likely would stick where I'm at, mainly because of how it feels in my hands.

I'm not really a loyal to any one brand  for the most part I use my Nikon  until I was blessed by someone from my church who asked me if I wanted his Camera gear
a canon Rebel XT with three lens and three extensions speed flash remote cord ect   now I use them both Canon and Nikon
Nikon being my main Camera Canon being my back up.

I use Nikon's because they are what I pretty much always used, I know about how to them and they do feel right in my hands. I don't think Nikon makes a better camera than Canon or pretty much any other camera. I've got a number of lens from the film days they work on my D70 but won't auto focus on my D5000. Enough lens that when I do get a new body it will be a Nikon. Just found another I'd forgot I had from the film days, Sigma 28-200. Good walking around lens. After getting a new camera of a different brand imagine the cost of replacing all the lens too! I have inexpensive one's but still couldn't afford to replace them all with a new camera.

I guess the real question to ask is "why should I change"? A professional would probably decide to change if and only if was not happy at least with one feature of his gear. I guess for a hobbyist that's a different choice, if there are very convenient sales going on or if a new revolutionary camera has just been released: for instance I know one or two canonists who decided to switch to Nikon when the D750 was released because of the excellent low-light performance (better than the D4 or anything else according to DXOMark)

I'm going to have to say yes.  Mainly because it's what I have been using for years and have muscle memory with the controls and settings.

Same answer for me.  I'd stay, on the principle that it's what I'm used too.  I would rather not have to relearn camera controls again.

Well it looks like most of you would stick where you are.  I kind of figured that would be the case.
