I have to disagree, the Canon 550D is a much better camera than the D3100 (although it is a bit more expensive. I do not see either how the D7000 has "the advantage" over the Canon 60D either. Nor do I see how the D300s has "the advantage" over the D300s. And the Canon 1Ds mk III is an awesome camera too.
I agree that of course Nikon will come with a successor of the D300s, and it might just get a different sensor from the D7000.

You may be right and let us not refight the old war <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The build quality and the auto AF for one, with the new in camera software seem to lead most know'ers to the Nikon side with respect to IQ and overall quality. I have not held either in my hand <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />! As far as the D300x goes, with a different sensor, say 18 or 24MP, with the Expeed 2 and auto AF, it will be a formidable camera and something I would love to have.
Of course the 1D MK III is formidable, but the D3X is supposed to be the king of the hill. Anyways again, I don't feel qualified to comment in detail on either.
With respect to Tom Hogan's opinion, Nikon will of course free up capacity if they discontinue the D700 and D300s and, let us not forget the spare capacity they created when they laid off heavily some time ago. The Nikon passion lives on, but most of all; take some good photos today with what you own now! <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
