    This is usually how benchmarking works though. One company will leap ahead making a new product, the other will play catch-up and eventually leap past again.

    I just refuse to believe that a camera company like canon will just lay over and die waving the white flag. If remember correctly; only a few years ago canon (w/ 5d&40d) was dominating most aspects over nikon. It is only a matter of time before someone else jumps ahead, maybe sony?

    I do believe you though, if I was shopping right now I would seriously consider nikon even though my dad has been shooting with canon sinse 1975 (and now me ~5 years)...that's gotta say something.

    Oh yah, me = jealous you work in a camera store.

    Yes, or at least some sort of bonus program.

    I finally went and broke the bank! Thanks sooo much mbolt (mike) for spending the time with me and explaining things in lamen terms and giving me great service!

    What I ended up getting was:

    -Nikon D90
    -Nikkor 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR
    -Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 aspherical
    - (1) Polarizer
    - (1) UV filter
    - (1) Panasonic class 10 22mb/s memory card
    -Canon camera bag haha kinda funny but it was the only one I liked :p who likes lime green bag lining?!

    I was shocked at how expensive all the little extra things are!

    Thanks again Mike, I'm definitely coming back there to get more lenses when I'm ready
