The 20D and D70s are in different classes. The Nikon competitor to the
20D will be the D200 which will be coming out in December. At the moment
the D70s should be compared with the 350D and the D70 with the 300D.

The D70 compared with 300 D?? The D70 is a much better camera.

I know that, you know that, but the vast majority of newbies don't.

The way it works is like this;

Canon comes out with a camera that makes people sit up and take notice.
Nikon responds after about a year with a camera that is priced about the
same, but is a lot better. Canon responds within 6-12 months with a new
feature or a new camera altogether.

And so on...
