That would be very disappointing to me because one on the main reasons I'm using Canon gear now is that I found Nikon's equipment to be over-priced/too expensive despite the fact that I really liked it. I started with Nikon, and then they had their big price hike, now their lenses are consistently much more than Canon's equivalent.

Canon 17-55mm IS $990 - Nikon 17-55mm $1399
Canon 24-70 $1250 - Nikon 24-70 $1720
Canon 70-200mm f/4 IS $1100 - Nikon has no excellent yet affordable "prosumer" zoom only the $2300 70-200mm 2.8 VR II
Canon 85mm f/1.8 $350 - Nikon 85mm f/1.8 $450

Not to mention Canon's newer lenses already had a price hike from the older models free online movies (external link), which is normal. 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II, and the 70-300mm L. They have a pretty high price tag as it is, so I hope Canon isn't thinking about making that worse.

Great post! It's very nice. Thank you so much for your post.

Economics can be discussed without airing your partisan political beliefs. Do that and things will be fine.

Use the forum to push your politics on others, and your post will either create a flame war, or hopefully instead, the post will be be reported by someone who disagrees, and it will be removed.

Thanks for understanding.
