Canon, Nikon get trounced by Oly in tele-zoom test.

[D Q E]

"More recently Nikon has caught up to Canon with VR, its own version
of image stabilization. In addition, Nikon has the superb 200-400mm
f/4 lens, which surpasses anything Canon currently offers".

Obviously something skewed their test. 200-400 VR not sharp?

It would be great to see a straight-up thorough and well executed test of the ZD 90-250 and Nikkor 200-400. At that $5k US price point, they really could push a camera purchase one direction or the other.

oh, I've had both of those, and yes the 70-200 f/4 just may be excellent'er ;-P. I did find the 50-200 to be more useful with the 4/3 sensor size.

I've owned a few Canon lenses 17-40 (for 3 days) 28mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 and 70-200 f/4. The 70-200 was the only one that got mad respect from me.
