Man...you must have high standards if you're not impressed with the D700 and Nikon lenses.

Why would you switch from one make to another without thoroughly testing the same equipment from both manufacturers? It cost me thousands to purchase new Nikon gear in the last month but I wouldn't have even considered that unless I did some real-world comparisons with similiar lenses and camera bodies.

After my two-week trial with the D3, D700 and a few Nikkor lenses, it was pretty obvious to me that Nikon products would serve my business better and I haven't looked back.

Trust me...I wouldn't have made the partial switch unless I had compared the results.

Nikon Professional Services will loan out camera gear to legitmate professionals who are not current NPS members for evaluation. Why not take advantage of that program since it only costs you freight charges.

I don't know if Canon Professional Services offers the same deal to non-members but they do that for Canon pros. I still have enough gear Canon gear to qualify for CPS membership and they're sending me a 300 f/2.8 for an event next week.

Much success,
