    What I don't understand is how the Nikon 80-400/4.5-5.6 ED VR lens is only $20 more than the Canon 100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS lens. headscratch.gif

    Last I heard, Nikon buys the stabilization technology from Canon.

    Furthermore, Sigma has a lens of the same FL with optical stabilization...but does not offer one for Canon. headscratch.gifheadscratch.gif


    Lastly...2.5gig? Big deal...that's Andy's next camera. lol3.gif

    that is way cool. but why'd it take so long? 10 images a minute? Seems like they could have done better, avoided some walking torsos
