Your argument doesn\'t hold water anymore in this day and age. Just take a look at Nikon. I just don\'t understand why you guys continue to make excuses for Canon and at the same time pretend as if Nikon does not exist.
It makes perfect sense:
Canon 7D: $1400
Canon 5D: $2200
Nikon D700: $2700
Nikon D800: $3000 est.
Canon 1DIV: $5000
Canon 1D-X: $6000 est.
Back in the 60s and 70s there were two top tier camera/lens makers Nikon and Leica. Canon was 2nd tier (in sales not necessarily in quality) along with Pentax and Minolta, etc. Now Canon is the market leader in terms of sales but Nikon is still a top tier camera/lens maker. Surprise surprise, they make competitive cameras. Pick your price range and feature set and buy a great camera.
