You knew this would happen.


it hasn't happened yet. it's a *rumour*.

Nikon got blindsided by Canon's 5D Mark II
which is far superior to the the D700.


in some ways yes, in other ways no.

Alas, not sure if the D700x will
help Nikon all that much at the high end at this point in time. What
Nikon really needs to compete at the high end is a whole new line of
lenses that can match the high quality of Canon's BWLs (big white
lenses). Until Nikon comes out with a fluorite lens, they'll be unable
to make much headway at the high end.


we've been through this before. both companies make excellent lenses
and flourite is not a requirement.
