I think this is a bit better release than Canon had today, with the Rebel. Nikon brings out 2 new lenses that could really bit into the Canon camp. I’m sure that the 16-35mm f4 VR is better than the Canon offering, and 24mm f1.4 well hard to say until reviews are out for this lens. None the less though new lenses are great!
