The unfriendly guy was unfriendly because he was an unfriendly guy (or his wife had just told him she was leaving), not because he used Canons. But, you know that.

There were a couple of pj's there (one was freelance, and the other wasn't very friendly, so I didn't talk to him) one with a Nikon Digital, the other with a couple of Digial Canons with HUGE lenses around his neck. Funny, but they really didn't get "into the fray" as it were. Stood fairly far back, and took mostly telephoto shots.
I was doing the telephoto thing too, but since we were on the "infield", we could safely get to within a couple of feet of the riders as they cornered. I was lying on the ice, with my 19mm, as they whizzed to within about 18 inches from me, while I was panning.
I don't know that they'll turn out, but my point is that these guys just seemed interested in getting pretty generic shots. Or, so it seemed to me.
