I do find some results unusal. I subscribe to Digital Photographer and in the issue that said the D300 was the best around they gave away an advertising booklet about the E3. the next month the Olympus E3 was the new bestest camera, one month later they gave away an E3 as a prize that issue said the D3 was now the best. Amateur photographer tested them back to back and voila not even close. Others have tested the A700 D300 40D and E3 and put the A700 a very distant 4th. Thing is elsewhere on the web you can see the same scenes shot with the same cameras under controlled conditions and I think there is little to chose between the D300, E3 and 40D but the A700 is a little behind ... Just goes to show if the difference is that close go with what feels best to you.
