[QUOTE="Canikon, post: 48139, member: 9131"] True fanboy speak. I personally think that Nikon may have a winner with the D800. However, if both cameras deliver on their promise, the MIII will have some features (e.g., better low-light performance, better continuous shooting) that might prompt some Nikon users to think about switching. However, your statement about glass is totally off base. Nikon has the 14-24mm that Canon has no answer for, but Canon has those great Tilt/shift lenses. Mid-normal range, both companies' lenses are competitive. Nikon may have the better zoom, but Canon has a (slight) edge in primes. In the telephoto area Nikon trails substantially. The 70-200 2.8 is excellent, but still trails Canon's offering. On top of that Canon lets photographers avoid the bulk–and both 2.8 zooms are behemoths–by offering f/4 lenses and the cost by offering non-IS versions. Oh, and did I mention Canon's superb new 70-300L lens? Where are Nikon's answers to these offerings? So, please keep the over-the-top fanboyism in check. The D800, if it delivers, will be a great camera, and I might buy it. But what may hold me back are Canon's excellent lens offerings. [/QUOTE]
