I am just bumed that they did not come out with the 50mm 1:1.4 AF-S VR
What is the obsession with VR? I shoot weddings almost every weekend and I get consistently sharp images from 14mm to 85mm.
Even in low light VR wont help you get sharp images especially when the subject is moving. At ISO 6400 @ f1.4 on my 50 or 85 I can't get sharp images sometimes since the shutter speed is 1/60 and my subject is moving.
You can appreciate VR on longer lenses. That I can agree with. The only lens I see that needs VR is the 85 f1.4 (it will make the lens really great).
I say it needs a wind-up crank. A nice fold-out wind-up crank. A few cranks should give enough juice for a good 300-400 RAW shots Perfect for those times when I am in the jungle or desert.
The music should be the seinfeld transition riffs. They put a lot of effort into this.. notice the dial on the back, it's a canon quick control dial... sheesh.

Now let's be fair, if you can have your 85mm with VR then a 50mm VR is fair to the OP as well The 50mm will be great too with it too by the same token.
If Nikon wants to throw VR on a 18-55 or a 16-85mm then fine if it wants to throw it on a 50mm as well. I want VR on my tripod!
I would like it if it had the d300 sensor, i want to switch to a probody after getting my grip, but the ff D3 makes me either need to permanently attach a 1.4x tele on the cam of invest a ton in glass since i primarily shoot wildlife. The D2x is my logical choice but the high iso performance is out done by the D300
I mean while we are making camera's up we might as well dream.
Maybe the D4h will have a 16mp ff and a 12.4 1.5 high speed crop area
I like SEJohnson83 idea....lets just do a new 70-200mm VR-CF a lens with a CF-card built right in....no need for the body anymore...anything you see thru the lens...you just snap a picture....(Oh...sorry all worng thred..shoud post this on the sony thred...I think they already tried that)... :-)
