Because I'm also into electronics, I see what these companies have done a little differently than most. There are several "classes" aimed at specific markets.now i am thoroughly confused the d80 is an old model realistically and it wasn't aimed at the 40d was it? probably between the 400d and the 30d at the time it was launched I guess.
the d90 is a similar price to the 40d. If the 50d is competing with the d90 then what is canon using to compete against the d300???
Anyway both companies make great cameras and lenses. I have friends with both.
I was reading this earlier http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/13/technology/personaltech/13basics.html
and this led me to look up alex majoli

go out take photos. ok the lens matters for birds but i think some folk get hung up on "gear" and MEGA PIXELS
and not intended as criticism of anyone imparticular
The entry level DSLR market They are about the same in this market:
Canon rebel series XT, XTI, XS and XSI
Nikon.................D50, D40, D40x and D60
Mid-range/advanced: Canon wins hands down in this market:
Canon, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D and 50D
Nikon,.........D70, D70s, D80 and D90 (Nikon was slow and had no competitor for the 10D)
High end (between pro and advanced) Canon does not yet have anything in this market so it sort of balances things out as Canon kills Nikon in advanced:
Nikon D100, D200 and D300
Pro level: This is the market where they really leap frog one another, currently, Canon is ahead.
Canon, 1D through 5D series
Nikon, D1 series through to the D3
Then of course there is the other way to classify these cameras, that is on the technical side. The above however are how these companies target a portion of the market.
The D700 was a distraction Nikon played with and then had their asses handed to them by the Canon 5Dmk II
