Canon 50D announced, no 7D yet
Perhaps the 7D tomorrow. But the 50D is up on dpreview. 15 megapixels,
3" VGA monitor, faster processor. Plus a new 18-200mm IS lens to go with it. This will be a great amateur camera. Just whets our appetite to see the 7D. And I am a Nikon fan! And Nikon has its announcements for the 27th. All is well in camera-land. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

I do wish there were a third and fourth manufacturer who'd really push the big two. Did I miss the 6D? -- john mcwilliams |

Pentax is number 3, and they are pushing Nikon and Canon. The K20D is a 14.5 mp CMOS, weather sealed, in body stabilizer x,x,z axis. |

The EF-S 18~200 IS is a plastic "kit" lens, feels like the 18~55 and the 55~250 IS. Not the same solid feel as the Nikon or the Pentax 18~250. I wonder why Canon is the last maker to come out with an 18-200 range lens, and why it's so cheap feeling. |

Canon and Nikon aren't going to get into a huger price war without a third player. Worldwide, Sony is currently number 3, Olympus is 4th, and Pentax is 5th, but Sony is very distant 3rd. Even if Pentax and Olympus call it quits in D-SLRs, the market share won't all go to Sony. Did I miss the 6D? Yes. |

The K20D is a 14.5 mp CMOS, weather sealed, in body stabilizer x,x,z axis. Yes, the K20D is quite nice. |

Will they have a replacement for the D300, already a year old, that will compete against the 50D? Will they have a replacement for the D700 that will compete against the 7D? I haven't seen any rumors as to the D300 or D700 replacements, only the rumors about the D3X |

I do wish there were a third and fourth manufacturer who'd really push the big two. I wonder what Nikon will announce on the 27th. d90, possibly a lens or two, maybe more. Will they have a replacement for the D300, already a year old, that will compete against the 50D? Will they have a replacement for the D700 that will compete against the 7D? there's no need for a d300 replacement. the d90 and d300 are great matches for the 50d and canon's other cameras. they don't match exact feature for feature, nor do they have to. it's more of an interleave. I haven't seen any rumors as to the D300 or D700 replacements, only the rumors about the D3X i don't know where you get the idea the d300 and d700 need replacements. the d700 is just a few months old. |

I haven't seen any rumors as to the D300 or D700 replacements, only the rumors about the D3X Whatever, Fanboy. The D300 and D700 are just fine, thank you very much. Nikon will announce the D90 tomorrow. The D3x would be a pleasant surprise, but a surprise nonetheless. Rangefinder Magazine has an ad that says Nikon and WPPI are planning a "big surprise" at the WPPI convention in February. D3x then? Perhaps even the D4? Your guess is as good as mine. If it was that big of a surprise, why is Nikon's booth only half the size of Canon's? But if it is that big of a surprise, let us hope that Samy's, B&H, and Adorama's booths are well stocked. In any event, I already have my room reservations for the convention. That is Valentine's Day weekend in Las Vegas, and if you don't reserve now you might not get a room. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
