What I don't understand is how the Nikon 80-400/4.5-5.6 ED VR lens is only $20 more than the Canon 100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS lens. :scratch

Last I heard, Nikon buys the stabilization technology from Canon.

Furthermore, Sigma has a lens of the same FL with optical stabilization...but does not offer one for Canon. :scratch :scratch


Lastly...2.5gig? Big deal...that's Andy's next camera. :lol3
