Nikon's solid 'all-purpose' DSLR line-up is extremely impressive and unless Canon fails to counter this generation of Nikon cameras with appealing and affordable models, the competition will only benefit photographers; it's actually quite exciting to imagine how much faster they can keep going. The pace has been pretty frantic these past few years. For now, the only (major) thing left for Canon is its lens collection and ubiquity and its excellent offerings for sports (1D MkIII) and high-end studio photographers (1Ds Mk III). Still, I cannot, but wonder what Canon's response will be (viz. 5D 1 and 40D 1), given that Nikon has more or less eliminated a number of Canon model differentiators (see weatherproofing the body, AF sophistication, etc.) while at the same time surpassed it in areas it typically unchallenged (noise, price/performance ratio). If it weren't Canon, I'd be so bold so as to say that Nikon has more or less managed to turn the tables, at least for the foreseeable future.
