Canon and Nikon live in the same world that you and I live. It is silly to think they are isolated to each other.

Can't agree more.

If you were a CEO.  You have a low spec product in hand.  You know that it will be DOA if you release it.  What would you do?  Continue to release it? Spend another 24 months  to develop a new one...

I have a rich friend, but he doesn't lend a cent to me.  I have a not so rich friend, he is willing to share his bed with me.  You tell me which one is a better friend? Sure, Canon has a lot of...

I don't work for Canon and I don't have their internal information.  We are talking about "expectation".  Do you agree that a lot of people expect the 70D will be announced today?

Unless you are a Canon person and willing to disclose internal information here, otherwise, you can't prove that I am wrong too :-) We are talking about "expectation," your gut feeling. It is not a...

You have a wrong attitude. If it is the first time that you don't listen to your boss, you may be OK. For the second time, you may get a serious warning; for the third time, you are fired!  Why do...

You missed the context here. Many people expected Canon would announce the 70D today. It is not about what Canon's plan is, it is what people expect Canon to do. Just like wall street's...

Don't you think Canon should be punished?  We have been waiting for too long.

About a month ago, I predicted that Canon would have to delay the 70D.  And I am right. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/post/50924075 Although I really want a decent 70D, the 100D is very...

I wish you are the CEO of Canon.  Same price as Nikon D800.

Canon asks too much for what it offers.

Canon failed to recognize the improvements that Nikon and Sony have made in recent years. Canon is still dreaming.  Take a look at the price of 5DMk3.  It is way too high.

I have the same 30D. I would wait because I am expecting the MarkII to have a new sensor with better technology, specially in low light performance.  Sure, it will be more expensive than the...

Built in flash is very useful for fill flash.  I don't want to bring an external one just for that.

AF lock on a kid that runs in all directions?

The joystick is not something new.  It has been on higher end cameras for years.  It is clear to me that it is not on the lower end cameras because 1) Canon doesn't want the lower end ones are as...

I take pictures of running kids.  With the joystick on 30D, I can keep my eye on the viewfinder while I change focus point comfortably using my thumb and I am ready to shoot at anytime.  There is...

Do I need to spend $3500 to buy the 5DMark3 to be in the class?  I am not a cash cow for Canon. Nikon's D600 is a good fit for this class.  Feature wise, can 6D compete with D600.
