Nikon badly needs to replace the D700 and D300S. They cannot sell them in Japan, due to battery safety laws. You can bet that they are pulling out all the stops to get new models ready for release ASAP.

Canon doesn't have that problem, and it hurts Nikon to see Canon selling the 5D MK II and 7D in Japan while they have nothing to sell that competes.

Good point, forgot about that. Did you read at Nikonrumors that the D700/D300S are officially on the discontinued list?

Yes, and ll this time we should have been blaming Nikon! Had they gotten their act together and deprived Canon of 5d2/7d sales, we would have had a 5D3 announced by now :p

Finally... Nikon releases their version of the 5d2....but with very good AF. Now, I want to see the ISO performance.
If it equals the D700...likely imo...that would be a success. And if the version w/AA filter is $3k as rumored vs $4k w/o AA...it will be quite the camera.

If thats true, Will you switch? ;)

I thought D7000 competes well against 7D? No?

No, the D7000 is a competitor to the 60D. The D300S is the equivalent Nikon body to the 7D.

Any thoughts on why the camera w/o the AA filter would be more expensive? More chip processing or complex algo?

Couple of things come to mind: Post production effort to remove AA filter or remove from the line for special handling. That alone is not worth $1k premium, the other reason is, because the Market really wants it and will pay that premium happily. Nikon likes to play on the "exclusive"...

If the sample is true than the new D800 will destroy the 5Dmk3 ( if the 5d will be a 22MP camera), even if canon will have 1 sop better ISO; 14 MP advantage will make a huge difference.

Hope Canon will go for the 28-32 MP sensor.
