Not being a Nikon man these mean nothing to me. I presume these are supposed images of Nikons new DSLR but what level of the market is it aimed at?

Well Nikon have just brought out the D50 which is another entry level DSLR, so my guess looking at that camera is it's going to be aimed straight at the 20D market where Nikon currently have a bit of a gap. It looks pretty business - like, so it will be interestig to see the spec.

I have to admit that a short while ago I looked and handled a D70 and was very impressed with the build quality. All this Nikon/Canon mine is better than yours, really hacks me off, both manufacturers are very capable of making excellent equipment that compete on a level playing field. If I hadn't already bought into the Canon system and was on the market for a DSLR again, I would seriously look at the Nikon range. I am not saying I would change, just that I am not totally blinkered towards Canon.

Nikon and Canon have been supplying the needs of serious pro photographers for decades now and they take the feedback they get from these people very seriously, incorporating suggested changes in their new models, so as a result the cameras are continually evolving as working tools and IMHO are just that much better than other brands. Both cameras are backed up by an enormous system of lenses and accessories too, and I wouldn't seriously consider any other marque.

My Nikon F4 was without doubt the best film camera I ever used and it was a sad day when I parted with it. The rivalry between the two brands is continually forcing improvements and driving prices down for us end users, so it would be a sad day indeed if either marque went under. I don't really see it happening, but it had better be Nikon with my current commitment to Canon gear.

I have both Canon & Nikon so totally agree with you.

The Nikon D-200 replaces the D-100, which was aimed at the same market as the Canon 10D. So, the D-200 will probably slot in the Canon 20D segment.

Thank you sir, now when I am reading the rumours I will be able to gauge the features against something that I know.

Since we are talking rumours...I have today been informed that Canon are worried by the supposed spec of the D200 and that they are likely to release a simplified 5D to counter...possibly called the 50D. This is getting interesting now

Again only rumours so make of that what you will.

What's even more interesting in the long term is their respective stances on the 1:1 format. Canon's launch of the 5D at the price it is seems to clearly indicate their intention to bring this format available to the main stream user in the very near future, while Nikon have no intention of departing from their 1:5 format and I can't help thinking they might be right.
