Hey Canon! ISO, ISO, ISO, ISO. ISO!

Nikon's D700 boasts ISO 200 – 6400: extensible up to 25600 (equivalent) and down to ISO 100 (equivalent). The D700 body is, I understand, about three grand.

Canon, you want (another) three grand from me?

Match, or beat, those ISO specs with a camera body that'll take my Canon EF glass, and I'll write the check the same day you ship the camera body. Done deal. FF or C sensor, I prefer the latter, but I'd buy a FF if it had that kind of honest, usable ISO performance.

The 40D's ISO 1600 isn't enough for this guy. It's close -- but I'm definitely looking for more. Nikon's really, really tempting me here, but I have a load of Canon glass, and of course that tends to make one stop and think.

Sigh.

Fall 2008? 50D? ISO 6400?

Here's hoping...
