Many photographers don't care. Also, if you make 8x10's, or just post 
on the web you might not notice. If you shoot for a newspaper, you 
certainly can't see it in the result, unless it is very bad - and 
yes, I have seen it in some shots because, as Tina has mentioned, 
once you have had problems with it, you get rather sensitive to it.

It's not just Canon; it's most maker's lenses including a lot of old 
Leica lenses. Only the best and usually the most recent lenses don't 
have any visible CA.

Interestingly, the in-camera corrections by the Panasonic G1 probably 
fix chromatic aberrations as well as some other lens faults so that a 
very inexpensive lens design can lead to output that is of quite high 
quality.

Best is of course if you have an outstanding lens in front of a 
sensor that doesn't dumb down the file. Like a 28 Summicron or 75 AA 
on an M8.
