"It's a crap sensor," he said.

"Look at this boat pic ..... it's terrible," he said.

Well Loons, here's one I took today just for you.

[Note: This is a BIG photo. Actual size for your viewing pleasure.]

A boat speeding down the river captured handheld from a couple of
hundred yards by one of those crappy Canon consumer lenses.
If those folks were wearing watches you'd know what time it is.

I think I'll keep the Fab 5D2.

Thanks Bret.

2 things about that photo:

1. Noise in the BG (dark green areas) is similar to the Sony a900 at ISO
200.

2. Everyone in the boat looks totally relaxed, except the kid driving
it. Looks like she's being attentive and careful. Warms my heart to
see kids being responsible when driving the boat around.

I'm guessing there are at least 10 boater safety violations going on
there.

You're probably right (if not in count). I was just caught by her
attentive look.
