I had no Canon or Nikon to compare(but like several of you my first impression of the 8 was underwhelming, but I already had a bunch of lenses) but I did compare the 8's results(w the same lenses) with last year's trip to the same spots with my 7(same film,lab). The 8's results were clearly superior which I attribute to this amateur's need for the matrix metering...... I hope you both got out of the Ahwannee and got to Tuolomme Meadows! We had a great hike and photos to Gaylor Lake at 10,400. Unbelievable, can't wait till next year(I do have to say it got a bit heavy carrying the 8 and the lenses!) - --chip
