Buy the right tool for the right job... whatever your job is. I needed a camera that would pick up a football player on the opposite side of the field, track him running at me up the sidline, shoot at 8 fps, and not hit the buffer before he reached the endzone. So, I bought a Canon 1D Mark II N and a 400mm f2.8L IS. I do not feel the need to yell at Leica because they cannot produce a camera with autofocus, fast frame rate, and huge buffer.

Some day, hopefully not too far in the future, Canon (or maybe a Zeiss EF mount) will address the wide angle problem. Will Leica address their's sooner? I don't think so. Canon is the most versatile system right now.

you are correct - if Guy doesn't need Canon so what
Guy - you need to stick to what works for you and don't bash the folks that are using Canon equip to make a living

ps - to Guy - I grew up with a mom you was an English major - when you refer to a company could you please use "their" instead of "there" thanks
it would be greatly appreciated - I do not like improper English

thanks

Yes it could be done, but why?

The "why?" I'm thinking of is this:

At an equivalent pixel density, you can pack a LOT more pixels into a medium format sized sensor. (I'm talking full-frame, of course).

It seems to me that when you shoot wide angle, you'd really like LOTS more pixels than when shooting telephoto, just to capture as much detail as possible.

Granted, full-sized medium format sensors with 6 - 8 micron pixels doesn't exist . . yet.

You know, the main English mistake that REALLY annoys me is the supposed "intelligent" people who INSIST on saying things like "between you and I".

I'm MUCH rather hear a "hick" say "between me and you".

It seems far more important to me to get the correct form of the pronoun that to get the correct order.

The second thing are phrases like (from a song):

Every man in this place would line up
If they knew what that seat really was

Arrrrgh. HE knew, HE knew, HE knew.

Wwll, I'm actually very happy with Canon. With the announcement of at least two relatively pointless items (one of which appears to be ludicrously priced), I am not even remotely tempted to acquire new kit. This was my reaction to the 5D as well, so to Canon I say; thank you! I don't need to withdraw money from my bank accounts in your honor.

Actually, I don't agree WRT the 10-22 either - as zooms go, it's a stellar lens in terms of IQ, and really competes well with all the other offerings of its competitors (Tamron, Sigma, Tokina). No, it's not built like a brick outhouse, but that isn't detrimental to most that use it.
I've owned one and tried another and they both had terrible CA on high contrast subjects, windowblinds, tree branches you name it and it had a red fringe. in addition they both vignetted pretty badly which is unbelievable in a 1.6 crop lens. So much for "using the sweet spot" theory. I figured I'd just stick to the 17-40 on my 5D when I need wide and let my 20 take care of the long end.

Guy,
PMA is not a big thing at all. It's just a small show where companies can make a few announcements and that's it. The 30D announcement is perfect for PMA, however:

The year is NOT OVER. There's more coming. Just wait and see. I know you probably have no faith in them now, but, perhaps you'll just have to wait.

There is no sweet spot on an EFS lens. The sweet spot in on a non-EFS lens with a crop body. I wouldn't expect the 10-22 with one UD element to have less CA than a similar 16-35 lens with one UD element on a FF camera. Why would an EFS lens be expected to have less CA?
