I doubt it will be cut and dried but at least Canon will have a fight on it's hand again. It might have the edge again since that extra 2 MP is a plus and as DP magazine just found out in a test the Nikon G Lenses are still noticably sharper wide open than Canon L. But it is full frame so sports shooters will need longer glass for the same reach or shoot at 5.9MP The snappers are definitely going to love the idea of ISO 25600 but only if the noise at 6400 is as good as the Canon but I expect with full frame it's going to be outstanding.
