| This would all be true for me too if I were only photographing kid's 
birthday parties or shooting landscapes or many other types of 
photography.  However, two stops on the noise level as well as faster 
flash sync times are a big deal for me and Canon has it there.  But 
you'll notice that I haven't actually bought one yet since I don't 
actually like using Canon cameras.  We'll see what turns up in the spring.
