[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 251202, member: 9240"] Just watched it and it was like talking to my brother. For the pro sports photographer there's not a lot that will beat the 1Dx, for every reason he mentioned (though my brother prefers the crop of the Mark IV). There was another post about a month back about a guy who shot Canon for a day at a car rally because it was the only thing available with built-in wifi and he said the same thing. I think if you throw in Canon's professional services in on top and it's no wonder a working sports photographer would opt for Canon over Nikon. Just too many cool things that work so well for that niche. That said there's not a lot in here that talks about what Nikon doesn't do, and I would hope that when the full blown D4s specs are available you'll find something more attractive to the sports photographer niche. They've already said they've upgraded the auto-focus systems. Unfortunately, it's tough to play catch-up when your competition is already doing some important things better. Regardless, based on everything I've seen and from what I've read and heard from many pros I trust, I do believe Nikon has a better bang for the buck camera for the high level amateur and semi-pro. So for anyone who is swayed by the name on a strap and not the specs of the camera they need then this is a win for Canon. Otherwise, let's hope it's another kick in the butt for the Nikon R&D team.
