[start rant]
If I didn't already have the glass I did I would not go Nikon at this point. The prices are just too high now. A Canon 70-200 2.8 is now on B&H with a $200 rebate:smile:
$2400 (and i doubt it will be that cheap) is a joke for a 70-200vr, I don't care how good it is, $2400 for a 70-200 lens...
Example:
I got my 400vr last year for $7800
the 400usm is now 6800
the 400vr is now $9000
I don't mind paying more for the extra 4 years of warranty but the diff is now ridiculous.
In fact if I ever get a 600mm it will be a canon and I'll get a used 30d or 40d.
I feel sorry for anyone starting out with nikon gear now and I wonder how you can hang in there
