But who cares about that. With canon, you can turn NR off completely and use dedicated software later.
I should add that I really like Canon long exposure noise reduction. For long exposures, I get better results doing NR in camera than any other way (though that could just be because I don't know what I'm doing)
If I understand the "star killer" thing correctly, it is not relevant except in long exposures. Furthermore, there would be no real problem if only it could be turned off.
In what way is fluorite a Canon innovation? Are you saying that the notion of using Fluorite in optics was Canon's idea, or were they just the first to use it in camera lenses? Or the first to use synthetic fluorite? Or something else?
That's a biggie (in terms of utility, not in terms of innovation, I don't think). Why don't the Nikon guys want one?
