Joy!
Are you waiting for the launch of the D3000 and D300s? I am! New 70-200 possibly too.
Maybe Nikon will update the worst line of P&S cameras on earth. Canon needs to be pushed a bit more in the segment.

A new 70-200 and 18-200 as well.
Nothing to change systems over. :)

dxomark? it’s so easy to tell that this camera is 2 stops better than that one. look at the sample images here and tell me now if how much better the D300s against Canon G10 (only a P&S). http://imaging.nikon.com/products/imaging/lineup/digitalcamera/slr/d300s/sample.htm
too much grain….
maybe they got a better sensor but in wrong implementation. don’t compare the specs, compare the real world output.
I agree the D300 is a great camera, and if all there was to choose from was the D300 and 50D I’d probably go with the Nikon. I have a 50D because I like a crop body in addition to FF ones. Whether I upgrade it to a 60D I’ll have to see what Canon does. I don’t think it’ll go head to head with the D300 though but we’ll see. It’s priced for upgrade from the Rebel line and 2K would be too much a jump from $900.
yep, it’s an interesting strategy. The biggest battle is for new DSLR owners, Rebel/500D/D5000 territory – once they get them then it’s what to upgrade to, and Canon plays smart going for the $1200 price point, and giving a fair amount of bang for the buck on the 50D. Where Canon drops the ball though is the leap from $1200 to $2700, a niche for a would-be 7D.
