Canon 5D Mark II

Q. I read a lot of forum comments about poor AF performance on the 5D Mk. II. Is this a real problem?
A. A lot of forum posters don't own a camera. Figure it out.

Q. But the Nikon forums never get this sort of question!
A. That's because Nikon shooters enjoy blurry photographs.

Lenses

Q. Should I buy this off-brand lens for half the price? Will it be better than the L glass in the same focal length? Help me justify my cheapskatedness!
A. No.

Flash

Q. Why does the Canon system require the ST-E2 but Nikon doesn't?
A. Because Canon hates us.
