Don't have the article in front of me but as I remember main points were:
1. Both systems are good and worth the investment.
2. Test was with a Canon 100-400 mm zoom; Nikon was an (I think) an
80-400mm zoom. Nikon did a better job of eliminating movement in the
midrange (around 200 mm) of the lens while the Canon did a better job on the
long end.
3. Nikon control switches were recessed and less prone to accidental
movement.
4. Nikon system automatically switched to the panning mode and did not
require a selection switch. The only switch on a Nikon was on/off. Canon
(with panning selector switch set at number 2) and Nikon both produced about
the same results (good) when used to photograph moving auto or bicycle while
panning.
6. Comparing the lens at their best focal length for vibration reduction,
the Canon lens provided (as I remember) 1/3 f stop slower shutter speed than
the Nikon with similar results.
7. Neither lens worked well on a tripod to reduce mirror lock-up movement.
8. There was a technical explanation of how the two systems worked and how
they were different.
Anyone out there with a copy that can verify my recollections or maybe add
clarification or more information?
