You are correct Sir!

They sure did improve all the weak points of the 10D, especially the fps and buffering. Three fps with a buffering of nine is lacking when it comes to sports.

Btw they had to replace the IS unit in the 100-400.

Cheers...Bud. :)

Oh, forgot to mention another important detail....better dynamic range too. :)
Canon upped the ante in the under $3k DSLR market. Seems Nikon is the only other serious player.

The 100-400 has too many disadvantages for my tastes.
I just ordered the 300mm f/4L IS.

Eventually, they'll have something that will surpass it. Just takes time.

I've got the 400mm f/5.6L. It doesn't come in with an IS. Razor sharp but it was a bit much at the PoF and Moffett Airshows. The 300 should be juuuust right.

Eventually is practically a Nikon motto. :)

LOL :D
At least they're in the game. Remember, Canon plays that "eventually" game too.
Where's Olympus, Pentax, Minolta, Sigma, etc ?  They are lagging behind badly. I don't think they have the resource $ and the R&D to compete.

D70 is great! :)

Really was a great move to get into SLR instead of one of the new 8 megapixel fixed lens cameras.

The market seems to be scattering out.
Drebel at the bottom of the price and capability range
Then D70 higher  price but really moved the bar at capability signifigantly
This one seems to be above the D70 in capability and price.
Like they have decided not to compete apples to apples.

It's the nature of the business. The top companies need to surpass the competition, not meet it. It is a good time to be in photography as it's getting better and better. I want more apples to oranges evolution in cameras! :D
