Nikon needs to sell D600, so no direct competition! :)

Wow - I thought Nikon has forgotten about their prehistoric D3 :) Gonna flash it tomorrow - it's not that I have issues with the current firmware, but just for the sake of novelty :)

The price tag is really absurd. If I were looking for the bird-hunting lens, for about as much (even less, in fact) I would rather get a 100-400L + 1d mark III (used, mint), while keeping my D3...

IMHO the photograph on the front page isn't nearly as bad as the "DOOMED" headline.

MPA1, this kind of comparison indicates that you have no idea what that sigma is like. Nikon's new lens should be fantastic to compete with Sigma 70-200os. But even then - it's 1ev slower.

I guess I would rather get a m4/3 camera with a 20/1.7 or a powerzoom Panny kit if I needed a pocketable outfit, but this Fuji does look gorgeous!

luka3rd, the currently available Tamron 70-200/2.8 is pretty much on par with the corresponding Nikon and Canon lenses in terms of IQ at a fraction of price, and Sigma 70-200os even puts them to...

For smaller bodies Panasonic has GF series. As well as Sony offers bulkier A-mount bodies

with proper optics in hand (equiv. 24-70 & 70-200) this gem IS a proper camera, isn't it? :)

Yes, the hacked GH2 sounds better than stock GH3. But who says there will be no hacks for GH3? :) I doubt Panasonic's engineers with the stock firmware have exceeded the potential of hardware -...

Fast and reliable AF really matters for sports photography, and Panny proved it's capable back in the times when GH2 was introduced.
G5 doesn't shine with it's continious shooting though, with...

2 forpetessake - so far the only canon's 70-200/2.8 that's really worth it's price is the pretty expensive 2nd edition of a stabilized version. The older two versions canon's 2.8's are not that...

I personally expect EOS M to be a very sofisticated system, since Canon obviously had enough time to analyse the existing systems on the market and is expected to come up with something that copes...

I had the lens examined before sending it, and mechanically everything was just intact.In fact, the lens even worked fine for some time, and the squeaky sound was the only issue before the SWM...

Hi everyone,I bought a Nikon AF-S 28-70/2.8D lens on ebay, supposed to be in mint condition, but appeared to have a faulty SWM motor (squeaky sounds), which died quite soon. My fault (?) trusting...

I assume it's not only a question of weight of the focusing group of a particular lens that makes it more or less appropriate for CAF. The algorithm of AF is quite different for different kind of...

Pancake looks promising.
Wonder when Canon finally comes up with the updated 50/1.4, crappy AF drive replaced?
