Snort. It’s because a number of Sony employees are ex-Canon having quit Canon and taken their gear with them. They’ll have plenty to tell you about how Sony’s optics are, on the whole, superior and, further, they’ll tell you why Canon’s own DSLR development team don’t own any lenses outside of the 135 f/2, the 17-40 f/4 L and the 70-200 f/4 L IS… outside of a couple other primes (with caveats galore, they’ll tell you). But not one of them owns any 2.8 glass (they’ll borrow from the pool if they have to) as they have little faith in the 2.8 series’ abilities wide open.

If I am not mistaken, the A700 and D300 share the same sensor. Of course, their implementation is different.

This camera is the “equivalent” to the Nikon D300/S right? I forget.
