[quote name='thw' timestamp='1297651348' post='6089']

Unfortunately, many reviewers (including the popular DPReview site) are keen on comparisons at the pixel level.

dpreview is like a smoking habit... idiots not only ruin themselves with it, they use it to stink up everything for others too.

Yes, but still not quite the same as the D300, right? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' /> The 7D is a much better match for comparison.

I was replying to your "fear of cannibalizing the 1D3 sales caused them to excessively cripple the 50D" comment. The 50D was the replacement for an already existing line and it had improvements which brought it even closer to the 1D3 than its predecessor. Not sure how you can use "excessively cripple" to describe that.

At that time, Canon had nothing that could rival the D300 in terms of features (from the weather-sealed pro built to 100% viewfinder etc etc).

It has been like that all along! The D200 released in 2006 also had more features than the 40D which Canon released in 2007: (1) weather sealed body, (2) more AF points, (3) more AF configurations, (4) 1005 pixel metering sensor, (5) time-lapse shooting, (6) on-demand grid lines, (7) more AEB range, etc.



So why didn't Canon add any of these D200 features to the 40D or even the 50D? Would anyone have chosen a D200 over a 40D?





[quote name='thw' timestamp='1297651348' post='6089']

I believe you. But the 1D3 most certainly gave Canon a bad rep, and it cost Canon quite a bit of their market shares in the sports arena. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

[/quote]

Like I said, the biggest carnage is only in the online forums where people say things like "how Canon could sell a professional sports camera with serious AF issues is beyond me" <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />





[quote name='thw' timestamp='1297651348' post='6089']

Again, I believe you. But again, too much bad press about the 5D2 AF.

It's difficult to choose whom to believe... the people who say it can't be done or the ones who do it and show the results, right? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />
