I agree entirely with this sentence. The difference between me and most other posters in this thread is that I refuse to declare he is \"guilty\" as long as this matter is not backed up by evidence. Call me naive if you want but I see myself simply as one who remembers the past.
I wonder what will you say if - in a few months time - Canon will issue a hardware fix to improve AF. The start of this saga is exactly like the start of the saga of the 1D3, and we all know how that ended. We only have to wait and see how this saga will progress.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

That said, I do not share your view [my view being identical to Tom\'s] that just because he has Nikon ads in his site he must be prejudice against Canon.
The fact that RG has Nikon ad\'s posted all over his website with not even a whiff of another DSLR manufacturer is a major reason behind the possibility RG may have been bought out. Yes, appearances can be deceiving but the fact of the matter remains--The Nikon ad space allocation on RG\'s site AND the piles of evidence that refute RG\'s claims all point to one thing. Again, if it looks like a fish and if it smells like a fish...
I believe that it is possible that as Nikon matched (and surpassed) Canon WRT noise, it is also possible that they have also matched (and possibly surpassed) Canon WRT AF performance. I believe that, based on recent history, there is a good chance he is right. None of these seems far fetched to me.
But what I really believe that a man is innocent until proven guilty.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.
