It's true that Nikon dragged their feet for too many years over things
like full frame and other innovations; but now that they've woken up
they are once again the game to beat.

How can you say that? Canon has a 21mp full frame (Canon 5DMkii) for
about $2,700 and Nikon does not have anything to compete in that price
range. The more MP the larger you can print.

nikon has the d700 in that price range, and it has a different mix of
features. while the 5d ii has more pixels and video, the d700 has a
faster frame rate and a more capable focusing system. the d700 is
basically a mini-d3. it all depends what feature mix you want. not
everyone wants to print super-large.

I have heard rumors about a D700X for over $4,000 expected price but that
will not compete either.

i've heard all sorts of rumours, including a full frame d400. what
matters is what they introduce, not what people speculate.
