I've been a Nikon guy since high school. There is a feel that is very familiar and at the end of the day it is about the images and not which tool was used to produce the images. I know Canon makes great equipment, and in recent years it has been tough when everyone else has been raving about their Canon equipment and slamming Nikon to stay with what I know and love. In August when I heard about a full frame Nikon, that sold it for me. I placed my order and it arrived this past Thursday. I've been shooting D100s and D200s which have served me well, but the D3 is unfreaking believable. The screen makes everything look so good. I've never seen anything like it. With the full frame sensor, and low noise with high ISOs I'm blown away. If you're a Nikon refugee in Canon land, its time to come home!! Have a great new year, BT Happy New Year to all!

NIkon. Two new D300s arrive in January. Same auto WB and AF system as the D3. ...And a kickin' new CMOS DX sensor. In 2009, one D300 gets sold and replaced by a D3 - or both get sold and I get two new D300x bodies with the FX sensor - One can only pray. :) Now if Nikon would just update their 24mm, 50mm, 85mm and 135mm primes to AF-S I'd be a happy camper - and make the 24mm a 1.4 instead of a 2.8. THEN I'd be a happy camper. Ahhhh. NIkon. Two new D300s arrive in January. Same auto WB and AF system as the D3. …And a kickin’ new CMOS DX sensor.

I swear...if Roberts had a couple of those in stock, I'd be ebaying some Canon stuff right now! ;) Now, if I could just shoot half as good as you or Susan...I'd be set! Yeah, I saw that yesterday.

The 1Ds Mark III is only an incremental noise improvement over the 5D. So, I don't foresee a radical improvement coming. And, I don't believe Canon has any interest in improving the flash sync speed. I hope I’m wrong. We're going to see a lot of Nikon-turned-Canon shooters going back to Nikon. My hopes aren’t very high for the 5D mkII.
