It depends on which segment of the market you're interested in. Nikon is
pretty weak in the entry level right now, with the severely de-featured
D40x only slightly cheaper than the far more capable Canon 400D. But in
the mid-range "prosumer" segment, Nikon has some good choices right now.

knock it off. the d40x is not 'severely de-featured.' perhaps it
doesn't meet YOUR needs, but both it and the d40 meet the needs of
millions of other people.

Where Nikon is lagging badly is on the professional side, but the rumors
of a full-frame camera have started up again, so they may be planning a
foray into the high end.

nikon is not lagging badly. the only issue right now is no full-frame
and that is expected to change. the nikon d2x is an excellent pro
camera, used by many pros.
