nikonian 

Nikonian is a term for photographers who have come to appreciate the Nikon camera system for is ruggedness and quality. Nikon and Canon, as of 2005, dominate the North American digital SLR market with 80% of all DSLRs sold. This high level of competitiveness has lead to much name-bashing from both sides but neither company would be what it is today without the heel-nipping competition provided by the other.

The Nikonian Website offers a portal for advise on Nikon camera products and Nikkor lenses and general photography discussions.

Off its Website
"We are a friendly user community and the worldwide home for Nikon photographers, no matter your level of expertise, where you are from or when you log in.
With a vast membership from over 130 countries and more than 40,000 visitors daily, we have a rich knowledge base for both digital and analog photographers and imaging professionals."
After shooting on three different camera systems for a number of years I became a Nikonian after realising that the camera company with the best marketing strategy does not necessarily make the best products. Nikon blows at marketing.

P.S. Nikon made Canon's first lens and Canon won't put that in its official history. (when Nikon was Nikkor and Canon was Kwanon)

Really tall girl who's HAWT. She's most likely going to be a model. She is HILARIOUS & has the funniest laugh ever (in a good way.) She's an awesome friend. Easily angered and distracted. She's pretty and really gullible but definitely not retarded. Obsessed with guys, balls, and erections.
Guy 1: That girl is definitely a Nakoia.

Guy 2: I know; my balls are hard now.

She is the most beautiful person ever but her personality does not match up with her looks... she has light blue eyes, blond curly hair with a little hint of brown. She loves to dye her hair. She acts different around different people and can act so nice kind and sweet when you meet her but when you get to know the real natonia she is deceiving she talks behind your back and smiles in your face. Never become friends with one or they will demolish your happiness with lies drama and so much more. All they do is bring their “best friend” down and hurt them.

nikonian 

A person who photographs with a Nikon camera, and is convinced it's tha bomb. In reality, Nikon has been really slipping in optical performance since the mid 1970s. Today, even Canon and Olympus Zuiko are pulling well ahead in technical specifications.

Plus, the results are usually pretty bland.
only a nikonian would be convinced that a $150 lens is "top of the line"
