I am not trying to compare EOS L-Lenses and Nikon lenses... In my
silliness I would assume that a guy who has EOS system with L-Lenses
wouldn't want to switch because of a *body*...
Say, Leica does produce their digital rangefinder as was recently
mentioned on DPReview... Shall all of us suddently switch to Leica?
After all Leica lenses are superior, aren't they? ;-)
Thanks to Cotty I had a chance to handle his camera with A* 85/1.4
attached (Cotty, does my memory work?)... It was interesting... But
still, I wouldn't understand it, if for some reason Cotty went Nikon
just because of D200.
The world is undoubtedly changing.
True Boris, true. But in defend of my friend I can tell that as much
as he was satisfied with EOS-3 he was very upset with performance of
20D for three reasons - AF speed in low light (here Nikon is leader),
AF accuracy and frequent overexposure problems with metering in this
Canon. He had none of these problems with analog body (no surprise
for me, as EOS-3 is a kinda higher class body with 45 sensors AF like
in 1Dxxx series). He didn't want to pay for any body from 1D family
and thus probably his decision.
