reliable and potentially less compatable in the future. Inexpensive IS
lenses are a big compromise, cutting cost on IS lenses will get us more dogs
like the EF 75-300IS and to a lesser extent the EF 300 4L IS.

Sounds like the argument I remember about why monaural is better than
stereo, why vinyl LPs are better than CDs, or how about this, why mechanical
cameras are better than electronic.
My personal favorite is the idiot professor at Yale who after reading Fred
Smith's paper on overnight delivery (Fred founded FedEx) gave him a C
writing down on the front page that "no one would ever pay a premium for
overnight shipping." SOme people cannot see past their nose.
Hey Chip, aren't electronic cameras a big compromise? If the battery dies
your camera does too!
