Nikon versus Canon

All the rumours and reviews have indicated that Nikon lenses are superior to Canon lenses, however it seem that I see more Canon lenses on the sidelines of sporting events? Is it just that the white Canon lenses are more distinct? Traditionally, I believe that Nikon is the better manufacturer; but lately, I find that Canon wins on paper in most of the major specs. (For example, why does it seem Nikon is slower to develop higher megapixel cameras? The D2x is "only" 12 mp compared to Canon's 16 mp line-up; even the D70 series is "only" 6 mp compared to the Rebel XT's 8 mp.) Although the Nikon has lower specifications in areas where it is marketable, they do have very good products.

Anyhow, I guess Canon is a better marketer of their products.
