Whispers no more.

This has been talked about for what seems like an age. Well here it is.  :happy2:

I cant even use my 550D properly, but it doesn't stop me wanting one of these.  :evilgrin:

I bet Canon feel slightly embarrassed after seeing the specs for the new Nikon D800 :wink:

Nope... I doubt it. Canon are the market leaders,everyone knows that.

I would buy on of these in a second if I had 3k to drop on one. :-)

For how long though? All the pro-photographers I work with are becoming increasingly restless with Canon, and in particular the amount of time it's taking them to get products to market. The D800 makes that camera look dated.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

The Canon vs Nikon thing will continue with both sides continuing to score points off each other. At the end of the day you pays your money and makes your choice. As a prosumer should you be a Canon fan with a huge investment in L series glass then the choice is fairly simple. :wink:

Pro's on the other hand can choose to switch system if it fits their requirements as they see fit.  :ashamed:
