Its Canon v Nikon.......and Nikon have just kicked ass with their latest offerings (D3 & D300).
Does anyone imagine that Canon will take this lying down (I don't think so!!).
Nikon have temporarily filled a gap in the DLSR market with the D300, which has become a sort of 'budget pro camera', slotted in between 'prosumer' and career pro cameras.
Now Canon must reply and slot a camera in between the 40D and the 1DS MK l/llls.
They will also have to better the Nikon D3 if they are to reclaim their crown.
None of this is helping my dilemma as a consumer.....I want to upgrade from a Nikon D50 to a useful birding set up between £2/3000 but I dont want to get caught in the crossfire. The D90 is just around the corner so why buy the D80?, the D300 warrants some decent glass which Nikon are short of around the 300/400mm mark.
Canon seem to have the best, and (judging from this forums gallery) the most popular set up with the 40D and a fare selection of good lenses around the £1000 mark (within budget).
Whats next............anyone got a crystal ball?
