    Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG

    This one gonna be some 16kg+ I guess. Canon 1200L is 16.6kg. This fat monster is that calibre but also got to zoom. Any guess on cost? I think around the US$20-30K range?

    Switch from Canon 17-85 4-5.6 IS USM to Sigma 24-70 2.8 DG Macro

    2 biiiig problem with your choice, for me at least - 24mm not wide enuf, and sigma got no IS. The focusing speed on the canon is faster than sigma bcoz the canon got USM.

    Who says the Kit Lens sucks?

    Pic size too small to make any judgement. He oso use mostly f/11 or f/9 so no point comparing. I bet the guy can make good pic using a kodak dc240 piece of junk camera. It is the big piece of meat behind the camera which make all the difference. On another topic yah the kit lens suck compare...

    If you have just a few lines to say about Canon, what would you say?

    Crappy build quality for everything except high end body. Terrible noize in P&S cam compare to Fuji. Low end are build like dog-shite compare to nikon (kit lens etc). This the reason I dump my canon P&S and go with Fuji F30. Almost sell off all my Canon SLR stuffs now after got the D80.

    I got problems getting perfect 4R pictures from my F10

    Just print 4.5 x 6" man. Why so worried? I use F30 to print 6x4.5 at the local fuji lab got no cropping prob. Why u stuck on 4R size only? Pic is a pic and 6x4.5 is more pleasing.

    G7 high iso noise not dat good. See comparison in dpreview here http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1010&message=20968350 Fuji blow away the G7 for low noize. Why need 10mp? most ppl can manage more than enuf with 6mp. Gonna print A2 size wot? Then get DSLR not P&S like G7. IMHO...

    Body of 400D

    Yah, I try at Expo when they had a booth recently, it is way too small even compare to my 300D. Feels like a toy. If I put my 17-40L it is very very unbalanced. Bad design, man! Designed for 2/3 sized ppl or 8-yr olds.

    A710IS - Blurry viewfinder??

    Its not a prob with only the A7xx etc. Your lucky it even has a optical VF. Most P&S only got a big LCD screen at the back and no VF. Just look thru a Oly OM-1 or OM-2 or even your old EOS-3. Now THAT is a VF.

    Old canon zoom lenses

    Wot rubbish. 20-35 USM is a v.good lens by any standard. 35-80 is cheap kit lens.

    DIGIC iii

    Ppl, digic-3 or 4 or 500 only matter much if you shoot JPEG. If you shooting raw and PP on your PC then it dont matter. I rather have a nice fast cam with clean capture and PP later on. Abt B&S prediction I only have one prediction - my piggy bank will become lighter and lighter :(

    Nikon D80 or Canon 30D

    D80 price / performance definitely better than 30D. I liked the feel. It is much more solid than 30D at least to me.
