Does the new Nikon 400 exist yet? Because the 800 doesn't. An announcement of vapor doesn't help you get your work done.

Nothing is shipping beside the Z9 but the psychological game is has a big momentum swing. The Canonrumors.com comments are quite telling. The one thing worse than not introducing good gear is feeling like you are grossly overpaying for it.

So all Canon has to do is announce a bunch of cool stuff to make people happy (and who cares when or if it ever ships)?![]()
It sounds like Nikon is just desperate to keep people from jumping ship.

Haha, Canon users have been overcharged and Canon is an arrogant company. But Canon is still outselling Nikon by far.

They’re all playing in the same space now. It just took Canon and Nikon time to answer Sony’s modern AF. Everything else flows from that, just as it did when EOS went unanswered by Nikon for years, and was not competitive for more years.

In ‘87-‘89 every FD-lens shooter was convinced the world ended. It was worse for Nikon, who still had the pro market and lost it by actually betting professionals wouldn’t care at all about AF.

I'm quite happy with the Z5 I purchased, although I still use my older D7200 in low light.

Canon was able to get into the MILC game and match Sony sooner because they had been tinkering with on imaging sensor AF for many years. I recall Canon SLR had Dual Pixel AF systems since the 80D if I recall correctly. Once Canon jumped, they went at it with more force than Nikon. Nikon doesn't make their own sensors like Canon and Sony do and were at the mercy of third party suppliers.

When I got into the professional journalism realm, some of the colleague is had still manually focused Nikon 400mm lenses even if the lens had AF in it. I shot Canon and utilized AF because I stunk at AF. I got endless fried about "cheating" for the imaged I would bring back. I didn't care because I was fiercely competitive and hated losing to the rival newspaper. In a few years, all those Nikon manual focus stalwarts would be using Nikon 1DH and then Canon 1D Mark 2n camera utilizing autofocus.

It would have been fun but I was too busy taking care of business against the competition
