I agree with Tony, no point debating about Canon & Nikon's offering. Both have their advantages, if you are happy with what you have just stick with it else anyone is free to switch or get another system.

Precisely.:bsmilie:
Being a new member, he obviously has no idea what I have been through and what I think of Canon's QC.
Perhaps he needs to convince himself why switching from Canon to Nikon is a good move.
Not according to Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS vs Nikon 17-55 f/2.8. Better built but lacks VR... and the price is atrocious.
Well, Canon hasn't released an update to their old version. And the N24-70 most certainly does not perform at all like their 14-24. More importantly, like their DX 17-55 f/2.8 lens, it does not come with VR even though they JUST updated the lens recently.
True if you are impressed with Nikon 16-35 when their extreme edge performance at 16 mm is half that of the center at f/2.8. At f/4, Canon's f/2.8 is a little bit better. But ultimately, the yardstick is still Nikon's own 14-24 f/2.8 which is untouchable for an ultrawide.
Honestly, if not for the lenses I own and their untouchable performance by APS-C standards, I will have switched long ago. Too bad there is nothing as good as the 10-22, 17-55 f/2.8 IS, 70-200 f/4 IS and 100 f/2.8 HIS macro in terms of performance and functionality in other camps. Nothing.

I agree with Doodah, Canon has a pretty good APS-C line up. My nikon totting friend always bemoans Nikkor 17-55s lack of stabilisation, and less sharp than Canons version, despite costing 30% more.
Ken Rockwell also mentioned before if he had to switch to Canon APS-C it would absolutely be because of the 10-22, which in his book is the best of the APS-C ultra wides.
Of course, he hasnt tested the new Sigma 8-16 yet. That one looks promising thou.

Did you place a reservation for it or just walk-in? I understand that you have to place a reservation and be in the waiting list before you can get it as the stock is really limited.
Try Slr Revo at Funan.
I got mine from them in less than 2 weeks.
Yes, i placed a reservation.
