Tom, I'm sure you're right. After all, it only took Nikon 8 years longer to figure out how to make a super-telephoto with image stabilization ...

Merry Christmas and hope the new year brings you many great photos.

Likewise, Tom. I am actually thankful to Nikon for putting Canon under pressure with fierce competition. We'll all benefit from that.
Best wishes for a great holiday and happy new year.

Before this Nikon dissing gets completely out of hand, FWIW, here's a recently written article on the new D3 from Luminous Landscape.

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/es...mparison.shtml

An excerpt:

"As I wrote a little while earlier, based on initial impressions of the D300, and now their first full-frame CMOS camera, the D3, Nikon is now back in the IQ game. Canon has enjoyed a deserved reputation for high image quality, especially at high ISO. But now with the D3 Nikon has upped the ante, producing a camera that appears to offer lower noise than Canon (at least against the flagship 1Ds MKIII), and higher available speeds as well."

Healthy competition, to say the least! ;-)
