Nikon have a nasty habit of releasing a pro camera then improving it with an 'x' version less than a year later. I know of a pro who always upgrades to the improved version. He won't admit it but I know for a fact he's sick of shelling out for a new camera every twelve months. And his pictures aren't any better. At least when Canon launch a camera they have he decency to let you use it for a few years before asking for your cash again. As for all this whinging about resolution, go and shoot some medium format film if you want it BIG. There's plenty of cheap systems out there. Or have you forgotten how?

Nikkor 14-24 is a fantastic lens, as is the Canon 14 II. I had much better results with the Canon than 16-9 did. I don't expect Canon to ever release such a lens, it's a niche market thing. Canon is going to sell a lot more 16-35's and 17-40's than Nikon will of the 14-24. One big reason is you can't filter the Nikon (easily). I know at least 2 landscape photographers that have taken a pass on the 14-24 for that reason. Canon needs to update the 17-40. It would be a much better seller, and could be just as sharp. We'll see. 24 f/1.4L II will be coming along soon.

And will there be updated versions of the L 35mm and 50 mm in 2009? Will Canon produce something to rival the Nikon 12-24 f/2.8 zoom? I mean, how long will Canon be without a reply to this - http://www.16-9.net/ ? What happened to the new Canon 24mm f/1.4????

It was interesting to see that images up to the year 2000 had great image quality, then suddenly the image quality became horrible (obviously through the change from 35mm at its best to early digital cameras). The images from 2007 were looking great again... To put all the hype about digital and its advancement into perspective: I believe the greatest achievement has been that today any digital SLR body can produce equal or better IQ images than film. So we have a base of quality against which we can't loose, anything else is just an extra. In this sense I believe it doesn't really matter what Canon or Nikon will bring out next year!

I don't see what's the big deal except people being swayed by marketing and good reviews, and jumping ship. Yes, Nikon's good now, and they finally got there. Note the word finally.

People took great pictures way before the Canon 5D, 1D mk I etc. They will continue to take great pictures long after the new Nikon or Canon will be released. I am personally awaiting anything new high-end released in 2009 as I have a saved up for my first 1D and the money is just burning a huge hole in my pocket right now. Will it make me take better photos when I get it? I doubt it, but I still want it! ;-) I'm a gear-head so I can't help my self ;-) LordBug, you are so true.
