is very hard to tell which is the same as Sony

but I can tell you that Canon's 70-200mm 2.8 IS is already like 6 yrs old.....(old technology)

where as the nikon's 70-200 mm just came out not too long ago!!!!

Hm...comparing these lenses?  What's the point?  To test them properly, you have to use the same body first!

I can tell you now either the Canon or Nikon is an awesome lens.  They're used by many pros.

Canon's is not old tech, it's just that Nikon didn't have that tech in their lenses until these few years... :S

agree with SB ... it's completely MOOT to compare the lens on different bodies.

I just dont get it ..

May be just me ..  but saying " which Canon and Nikon lens is comparable with Sony .. "  to me .. is insulting  ..  insulting to Nikon/Canon ..  

It is like saying " An Acura TL, which BMW/.BENZ is almost as good as it ? " or like saying " I am driving a BMW 3 series, which PORSCHE or Ferrari is as good as my car? "   

I am sure Sony is big and rich .. they hv money to make good technology stuffs too ..   but ..  put SONY in same boat with Canon / Nikon  in photography ??   may just 10 yr .. or even 20 yr too early !

Check out what kind of lens people use in Olympic !!

Just curious....why did you go with Sony in the first place?  AFAIK, the system is limited and expensive.

Recently, I used both Nikor 70-200 VR f/2.8 and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.
Many reviews said the Sigma is good.  However, sfter some shooting in low light indoor conference shooting. the picture quality from Sigma is way below Nikor.  No wonder there is $500-$600 different between these.  

Sorry, never tried Sony before.

canon is old tech ie) their IS on the 70-200 f2.8 IS

that IS on the 70-200 is like ver 2 IS

now on the new 70-200 f4 IS their IS is like the newest ver. IS ver 4 or somethign like that

so 70-200 f2.8's IS is old tech!!!!

daimo

just for your record I prefer the 70-200 F2.8 without the IS ...

I'm not sure what version of IS it is but the point is that the new f4 IS "claims" to be 4 stops and the f2.8 "claims" to be 3 stops. However, in field testing they're about the same, so I really doubt the claim value is practical.  So is it new tech?
