Nikon will not go to full frame...

Well Nikon has just turned the high end pro market over to Canon.

Hardly. Nikon weren't producing full-frame DSLRs before the announcement. If
one judges high-end-pro-market by sensor size, I believe that Leaf has the
biggest penis (sensor, whatever) at the moment and I don't see people
falling over each other to dump their 1DsIIs for 645AFDIIs.

IME high end pros (incidentally i'm just going to throw that phrase about
like it means something) tend to shoot what the hell they are told is good,
and now more than ever there are enough dissenting voices out there creating
doubt (forums) to make the high end pro market wide open.

"High end pros" (whatever that means) shoot with whatever gets them the shot
they need. Most of the news pros that I know are still shooting with D1x's.
If a "high end pro" needs to do a lot of available light, then they are well
advised to go Canon. If they need reach, they are well advised to go with
DX. The only people who really care to debate non-issues like full-frame vs
DX are insecure amateurs with equipment fetishes.

"High end pros" (whatever that means) shoot with whatever gets them the shot
they need. Most of the news pros I know in Tokyo are still shooting with
D1x's and old Canons. If a "high end pro" needs to do a lot of available
light work at very high ISOs (not a large market) then they are well advised
to go with Canon full frame; if they need reach for sports or nature work
then DX is clearly advantageous. The only people who seem to seriously care
about the full frame vs. DX issue are amateurs with equipment fetishes ;-)
