Who Dominates in Sports Photography Equipment? Nikon or Canon? [A BLOG REPOST]

Until recently the answer was very clear.  Canon utterly dominated Nikon when it came to what the pros used for their sports photography equipment.  You could always tell by the looking at the white Canon L-Series lenses on the sidelines of games.  But check out this photos from the Beijing Olympics last year.  
There are quite a few non-white lenses attached to camera bodies.  


Those black lenses are attached to Nikon cameras.  
I'm sure this is due to the introduction of the Nikon D3 digital SLR.

DALLAS MAVERICKS NBA FINALS 2011CHAMPIONS By: Owen S. Bayog


The Heat could come away with a win at home court. The Big 3 now becomes the 
3 major questions for the Miami franchise.


A legitimate center in Chris Chandler gave Dirk Nowitzki a breathing space in
defense and has done more in the Mavs offensive.


Game 5 was told to be the biggest game of his life - but James has not
propelled his team to victory in Miami Florida.


Jose Barea beefed up the Maverick offense with his run and gun style.


105-95 - Dallas Mavericks NBA 2011 Champions!
