So I was a Canon person for 40 odd years - all through the film generation. I also shoot 2.25 SQ with Bronica. I guess at one time I had 50 odd pieces including bodies and lenses, flashes and all.
Shot friends Nikons and had issues with each one. The FM3 and EG's would eat batteries. The FE's had small viewfinders, etc. But they had good lenses and made good pictures.
Come the digital age and Canon abandoned their old FD/FL lens mount and made all my stuff obsolete. Pissed me off. Sold it all and moved to Minolta so I had common lenses for both film and digital and never looked back.
Try a Sony Alpha and see how that works for you? They accept all Sony/Minolta A mount glass. Minolta glass has VERY good color saturation. On second thought, don't - you'll just start competing with me for lenses, and prices will go up
I shoot Nikon film and digital at work as that is what my bosses buy. Still find annoying quirks with Nikon, but the glass is still good and at least my D2h will accept older manual focus Nikon glass like the microscope adapted lenses and such. So that's nice
