I have a Canon RF 800 f/11 - 15 % of the price of the Nikon and just over half its weight, and works fine. The RF 100-400mm is even more ridiculously cheap and very sharp. Canon has captured the mass market and has top notch pricey lenses for those who want them. I am not running down Nikon, they produce great gear, maybe better than Canon's. But does Canon really have a problem? I don't really think so. They also have new designs that are even cheaper.Haven't looked at Nikon, or any other brand for that matter for the past 30+ years. When I was starting out I was weighing either a used Nikon F3, or Canon T90. Got the Canon.
Prices are ridiculous, so are some lens choices. This Nikon lens grabbing my attention and making wonder things. May not switch as I am so heavily invested.... but who knows.
Nikon has a newer design that's cheaper. Kudos to Nikon. If Nikon can repeat that with their other telephoto lenses then Canon's got a real problem to address and it won't be a quick about-ship either.
