Canon EOS 1D Mark II or Nikon D2X?
I shoot a lot of low light fast motion concert type events. I currently shoot with a Canon 20D, and am going to upgrade. What Camera would you go with?
The Nikon seems to be a better choice on price, but I've been told the Canon outperforms the Nikon. Any suggestions?
These are both nice cameras, but they are both 4-5 years old. They were probably used by professionals who shot a lot of pictures and now they want to sell their used equipment. Be sure that you find out how many shutter activations there have been. This is available in the exif data of the last picture taken, so don't take anyone's word for it. Shoot one more picture yourself and check. If they have over 100,000 shots, I'd be wary of either one. These things do have a finite life and 100,000 means there's not much life left.
I otherwise agree that you may as well get the Canon, since you have lenses, but with a qualification. Your 20D has a crop factor of 1.6X and the 1D has a crop factor of 1.3X. If you have "digital only" lenses and not full format lenses, you could have some problems with vignetting. Check the specs on your lenses and see if they are limited to the smaller sensor or if they are okay with the slightly larger 1D sensor.
