As an owner of both an EOS 30 (Elan 7e) and a Nikon
F80 (N80) I have to say that I can find very little
difference between them in AF speed or accuracy
(although noise is definitely in Canons favour - at
least with USM lenses).
I have some "matching" lenses - I own a 50 f1.4 for
each and in bright light I'd give it to the EOS 30 -
but that may be psychological due to the USM lenses
lack of noise. In any case, even in fairly low light I
have found no clearcut advantage to the F80.
The results with most other lenses are similar, but
with the Nikkor 70-210 AF speed is very slow,
regardless of light levels. It's even worse than some
of Canons entry-level non-USM tele-zooms (but it is
beautifully built).
Maybe his results are due to manufacturing tolerances
- a good example of the F80/N80 Vs a mediocre example
of the 30/Elan 7??? A different test may find the
reverse, or how I find it - very little difference.
When it's all said and done, it's just HIS opinion.

Gary
