Relative to zoom lenses, prime lenses are lighter, can produce crisper images, create more bokeh and background blurring, and are more usable in low light. A $200 prime can often produce a better image than a $1000 zoom. Here's a list of pricing betwen canon and nikon, notice how canon is always a little bit more affordable.
