Yes, it's true.I'm guessing top of the line lens from any brand will produce similar quality. Question lie in price of lens - I've heard of people moving from Nikon to Canon because of cheaper high end lens. I do not understand Nikon lens nomenclature so not idea if that is true.
B&H prices:
Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS: $3900
Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR: $4500
Sony 300mm f/2.8 $5930
Well gee, I thought Nikon prices were higher (it does get worse at the $5-10k price range), but now I don't feel so bad. A 300mm f/2.8 is the first serious super tele for sports. At the Sony prices, you could buy the Canon instead and pickup a 40D to shoot it with, and heck a few teleconverters too and still come out ahead. To see the same difference with Nikon/Canon you have to be up at the 400mm range.
