Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD Aspherical IF for Canon

I wondered how Fuji stacks against others in there pro line? Every body keeps saying get a canon but iam not convinced i think Fuji still has the best image processor and after the pma show there will be even better ones since there is a great variety of cameras on DPC i figured this is the best place to learn the anwser thanks............

Got a half hour to spare here is one comparison...

Fujifilm S3 Pro Review

Quote from the review:

For the money, we expect more camera. Fujifilm seems reluctant to play the digital price drop game. That's okay, but we need more camera refinement if they want to keep their camera above US$2000 street. Compared to a US$1495 Canon 20D, the Fujifilm S3 Pro under performs in the shutter, autofocus, viewfinder, write speed, and a few other critical areas.

As for now I would think the Canon is the best. I like Nikon but with canon's selection, if I had the money I would invest in a 20D.

I gotta read the reviews but the S3 isnt like no other camera it has 2 shutter buttons one on top and one for when you turn the camera side ways but what about the point and shoot cameras the one iam using in particular S20?

Throw a battery pack (vertical grip) in any of the dSLR's and you have the same thing still way under the Fuji cost wise. Except the D70 I believe?

See you say canon but why because of there selection? there has to be something that makes you feel the results are better CMOS/CCD? Fuji uses Super ccd HR and SR technology and of coarse conventional for the older models. Super ccd 5th generation fuji remodeled the photsites in a honeycomb design and the results are obvious CMOS is jus plain and simple. now dont get me wrong iam very simple and versitle but iam really trying to get feedback on the difference between FUJI and everybody else that makes FUJI fall to the way side whether consumer/prosumer

Vertical grip for 20D (and others) provides additional shutter release, main dial, AE lock/FE lock and AF point selection controls for easier vertical shooting. As well as holds 2 canon batteries or a 4 pack of AA's for in a pinch.
