Re: Over to the Dark side.. ist D vs 20D brief comparison

[Peter J. Alling]

Canon's R&D is no better than anyone elses.  Pentax quiet likely has 
just as many or more imaging patents.  Canon can bring more products to 
market weather there is a need for them or not.  Some are truely 
superior products, but I've felt they were inferior since the days of 
the AE1, they were the first "quality" camera manufacture to jump on the 
plastic junk bandwagon.  It's been downhill ever since.  More "features" 
less quality Yipee.

technology there should be some serious money spent in R&D. It's a 
moving target game and it's Canon who ownz it.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
