I agree with inasir1971 - I think some of those photos were not focused on the subject at the center of the frame.

Hey, I chimed in as you asked :)  Yes, we can just look at how much better the new lens is.. but that's not what you directly asked in your original post.take a look at this on NR:...

My lens is supposed to come tomorrow so I can't comment from experience on it; however I do have the old 80-400 and lots of experience with it.First; the question of the new lens cost vs the Canon...

Sick Sick Sick!  Post more!Mine ships tomorrow as well as my D7100... I'm dying!  I can't even concentrate at work!SunilPS, Sick = cool for slang impaired :)

I guess you missed that last smiley there which you copied from my first reply ... :)

you are damaged good my friend...

i think he is wrong  none of the zooms on the Nikon site specifically mention it, but they all include it.  Why would this lens be differant?

Just trying to be constructive... I can see from your posting history that you largely have nothing positive to contribute. Yes indeed, I am a fanboy :)  I'm a fan of my gear so that I can go out...

I will retract my above statement about the D600 with my tail between my legs :) Apparently the mode dial IS lockable. If so, it is GREAT news.Sunil

Apologies... I wasn't trying to define "pro" camera unequivocally.I know nothing of Canon bodies, but if they don't have a locking dial then they would be useless for me. I shoot action that...

This is one of those "friend of a friend" rumors, so take it with a grain of salt: A friend told me that Nikon was considering totally shelving the D400 due to all the production delays caused by...
