I use the following brands of photo gear for their "virtues".

Canon - lens & popularity (easy to borrow gears)
Contax - Zeiss optic
Hasselblad V series - Zeiss optics, modular approach & reliability
Kiev 6X6 - price & lens
Kodak - simplicity
Leica - all optics
Minolta - price & handling
Minox - size
Nikon - lens & reliability
Panasonic - Leica optic & design
Pentax - optic & design
Polaroid - instant print & innovations (1950-1980)
Sony - Zeiss optic & design
Zenith - price

k100D - sold it to buy K10D
K10D - sold it to buy NEX-5N
EOS1N - Really nice camera. but the Nikon F100 was so much better.
F100 - wow! what a camera.
D200 - bought it because I liked the F100 so much
D300 - bought it because I liked the D200
NEX-5N - bought it to replace the K10D. it does a better job with my old Pentax lenses, than the K10D

I plan to upgrade the NEX-5n to an NEX-6 because I want a viewfinder
Eventually the D300 will be upgraded to a D700 or a D600 to get a FF body.
