Let me clarify what I am about to say.  I shoot Nikon AND I agree Canon
PROFESSIONAL digital is better at this point.

Now, let's think this through.  
1.  A wall is has no real reflection quality or ability to hold sharpness.
2.  The human eye does a LOT of compensation for color and sharpness for
everything it views.  The exact reason you CANNOT see true depth-of-field
when stopping down in the viewfinder.  The eye will over compensate for what
you think you see.
3.  Seth Resnick gets paid to do this.  Does anyone think Seth PAYS for
those "demo" cameras from Canon?

It's the same as a story in the recent "Studio & Design" by George
Tiedemann.  Whether or not S&D pays him for writing, does anyone really
think he has to buy a D2X when he can have a "demo?"

In ANY case, who knows what processing was done to any image?

I have been to Nikon, Canon and NPPA "short courses."  They all are based on
"WOW."
