I think photographers need a caddy more than golfers do.

Actually I think the only reason why Canon seem to be more popular is because the white lenses stick out more than the usual black ones. Not saying that Nikon is used more, I just notice the white lenses more.

I find the picture funny for some reason. That's a big group of photographers. How do you know how many nikon/canons, was it posted somewhere?

yeah, but at an admittedly quick glance all the lenses I see in that picture are telephoto not zooms.

Either way, Canon or Nikon they are pretty nice.
