    One thing I'd love to know though is, how is Canon 7d AF (current mainstream generation) vs. Nikon's AF?

    I had D7000 before but I sold it and now have 7D.

    7D's AF is more customizable than D7000 and has more cross type points, but I actually feel D7000's AF is a bit better when tracking moving subject.

    And I don't like how I have to press the AF point selection button on 7D every single time so that I can choose another focusing point. On D7000, I just use the multi controller to choose 1 focusing point and then half press shutter button to focus, and if I wanna choose another point, just use the controller again.

    So on 7D:

    AF point selection button

    Control dial/main dial/multi controller

    Shutter

    .

    .

    .

    to choose another point on 7D:

    AF point selection button

    Control dial/main dial/multi controller

    Shutter

    On D7000:

    multi controller

    Shutter

    .

    .

    .

    to choose another point on D7000:

    multi controller

    shutter

    Canon sucks at ergonomics, and they just started to put multifunction button at the front of the camera body after Nikon has done it for ages

    Nikon D4 specs:

    • 16.2 MP
    • 11 fps
    • 100-102,400 native ISO range, expandable to 50 and 204,800
    • CF + XQD memory card slots! That's right, the Nikon D4 will have the new Compact Flash XQD memory card slot.
    • Compatible with the new Nikon WT-5 wireless transmitter
    • Integrated Ethernet in the camera
    • Face detection/recognition function that will be working in the viewfinder (maybe some type of a hybrid viewfinder? Nikon had several related patents)
    • Improved video, I have no other details on that but my guess is 1080p/30/25/24 and 720p/60/30/25/24 similar to the Nikon D800
    • Uncompressed video out through the HDMI port
    • Ability to assign the two buttons on the front of the camera to smooth aperture control during video recording
    • Improved 51 AF points
    • AF detection range will go down to EV-2.0 (the D3s went to EV -1)
    • Autofocus system: 9 cross-type sensors that are operational up to f/8

    convince me not to buy the Lumix LX5 instead of the S95 (or the S100). i figure since I'm actually replacing an older DSLR with this, the LX5 may be more useful. For ultra pocketability, when I upgrade from the RAZR to the iphone 5 i am sure that will more than meet my internet update photo needs.

    If pocketability is not a major concern, have you considered micro 4/3 like GF2 for just a little more?
