Canon has been winning the battle on the sports field long before the digital era ...the problems started for Nikon in 1989 when they launched their first professional AF camera, the F4 -- it had a terribly inferior AF system compared to the EOS1. Nikon overlooked the crucial importance of auto-focus and concentrated on its Matrix Metering (the F4 was the first camera to have Nikon's Matrix Metering). Meanwhile, Canon's EOS1 was faster, lighter, and cheaper than its Nikon counterpart.
