I could have sworn I'd already commented on this one, great work!

Thank you Spyros, that means a lot coming from a great photographer such as yourself , and I am so glad to know you have good taste in camera gear
Is there ANY chance you can square John away and get him away from those Nikons?
Hey Hunter, please take my title with "tongue in cheek" as they are SUPER!! I have a friend who does similar photography and the link will be on its way soon so that he can see your outstanding work.
Do tell, did you use the lighting that was set up for the show or did you supplement it. I'm guessing that you were using a high speed normal or perhaps something around 100 mm with excellent glass and helped by a nimble ISO. Would you care to share for those who labour deep in the shadows of your brilliance?

Sure there is, when Canon will come out with a full-frame camera with the low-light capabilities of the D700 and at that price level. Then all I need is to find someone who will exchange my Nikon bodies and Nikon lenses with the same Canon ones and I am done. However, as you know, nobody is willing to adopt me, and as far as I know nobody has me in his will. Finally, even if I win the lotto, my wife won't allow me to touch the prize, I do not see me switching to Canons in this lifetime.Originally Posted by Hunter
Canon EOS 7D with Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 wide-open at 1600 ISO.
Am I correct Hunter Lee?
Someone's sneeking at Hunter's metadata!
Switch John out of Nikons? Are you crazy? I'd have a better chance getting him to buy a Glock! I got a photo of him using the 60D and I consider that a triumph!
Speaking of which:
...he couldn't even bring himself to put its strap around his neck!

Hey, this is the second time you are posting that picture of mine, what, are you trying to destroy my good name?!?!?
No seriously, when I tried some Canon bodies, I hated the fact that their grip is tiny compared to Nikons, it felt as if I was holding a toy in my hand. I ain't saying Canons are not good cameras, I just can't stand them.
As for Glocks, if our stupid laws allowed me to have one, I won't mind owing a G19. And for those of you interested, Glock is coming out with Version 4 of their pistols next year. Removeable grip inserts at the rear of the grip. Here is the PR I received.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GLOCK Introduces New Gen4 Models for 2012
GLOCK Models 21, 32 and 34 Become Part of the Gen4 Family Tree at 2012 SHOT Show
Smyrna, GA (Dec. 13, 2011) - GLOCK’s newest generation pistol, the Gen4, brings revolutionary design changes to the world’s most popular pistol. New to the Gen4 family, GLOCK will introduce the G21 (.45 Auto), G32 (.357) and G34 (9X19) Gen4 models at the 2012 SHOT Show in Las Vegas.
The ergonomics of the Gen4 pistol have been refined by adding a Multiple Back Strap (MBS) system to the grip of the pistol. Each Gen4 comes with three difference grip options: a short, medium and large size, enabling the pistol to adapt to each individual shooter’s hand size with the removal and insertion of a single pin. In addition, the grip has also been given a new Rough Textured Frame (RTF) to increase grip traction.
The Gen4 magazine release catch has been enlarged and is reversible for the ambidextrous shooter. To utilize the interchangeable magazine release feature, the Gen4 magazines have two notches cut on each side of the magazine body, allowing users to switch access of the catch to the left or right side of the pistol with no additional parts. Previous magazines will continue to work in the Gen4 pistols as long as the magazine release catch is left in its original position.
Internally, the original recoil spring has been replaced with a dual recoil spring assembly, which noticeably reduces felt recoil while simultaneously increasing the life cycle of the pistol.
“GLOCK’s dedication to perfection has made it the chosen firearm for approximately 65% of law enforcement agencies in the United States.” said GLOCK, Inc. Vice President, Gary Fletcher. “The Gen4 models are another step in that commitment to producing the best firearm for law enforcement, military and law-abiding citizens around the world.”
The Gen4, like all GLOCK pistols, has the same tested SAFE ACTION® system, durable exterior finish, cold hammer forged barrel, durability, reliability and light weight that have made GLOCK firearms famous. All GLOCK pistols are backed by the GLOCK Limited Lifetime Warranty and world-class customer service and support that is second to none in the firearms industry.

Ah, but that's the point, the camera's grip is pretty much the same, whether it's an entry amateur, a 'prosumer' or a pro model. Even my P&S SX200IS handles pretty much the same as its big brothers.Originally Posted by John

No, it's not. The Canon grips are much smaller than the Nikon ones. At least that's what I remember from the last time I tried a Canon, and I can't remember when that was.
