Wow. So many that the OP had to ask twice before getting a reply. And what
better proof do any of us need than a DP Review Forum? Again, I ask, got any
facts to back up the fat-assed BS?

Where does it say that Andy has switched to the D3?

Please remember that Andy has now taken more of a journalist point of view.
He is a reporter and many of his reports are shown by the overpriced
Warehouse Express company.

Andy is a top bloke, and has used many, many camera's. The Rhino shot was
taking on a Pentax 645 for example, and I think this was the best of the
best. But, he is a Canon man at heart. Trust me on this one.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Canon not giving dpreview advance
info before new releases...


Dpreview was a bit pissed off when it didn't get anything prior to Canon's
launch of the Mark III.

In his blog. He says he switched, and at his own cost. "Focus on Imaging" on
2/28/08.

Just checked, and found a few there, all selling for over $4K. Cheaper than
a D3, yes.

In Rouse's own words, from the blog that was linked to:

Focus on Imaging

A big thank you to all who came to my two Focus on Imaging talks on
the Nikon stand. Most of you seemed quite surprised to see me there
and more surprised to see that from now on I will be shooting with my
D3 system. And I want to clear a few things up straight away that a
few idiots on dpreview have been saying - thanks also to some nice
humans on there that have defended me too. I made the conversion at my
own cost and Nikon have not supplied me with any gear nor have they
paid me, in fact I worked at Focus for free. I swapped to the D3
because I think that the AF system is better and the image quality is
better, the high ISO certainly is. It was a business decision on my
part and nothing else!

It is always amazing to me how some people are so obsessed with their
cameras that they will hurl anything at anyone who is a threat and
this week I have seen some awful stuff on that forum about me. One guy
said that all of my D3 pictures so far sucked, I could not believe it
as I have posted some beautiful work lately. These people have never
met me and are just spreading lies, it does not really bother me but
the Gorillas were most upset. [accompanied by photo of young Gorilla
giving the finger]"

Your cultish adulation of a corporation is bizarre and pathetic.

OK, never saw that.

Well, I am surprised. But, I can certainly see the appeal of a fast, full
frame, low noise camera.

Yes, I know.. Isn't / Wasn't he one of Canon's preferred professionals?

This has got to hurt them, however temporary it may turn out to be..
