Interesting that Nikon essentially did this with the D700. I think it caught most by surprise that they would offer a camera so close to the D3 in specs. Still, what happens is that those artificially forced into the pro model because they feel they had no other choice can drop back a level and those that really need the pro cameras still buy them - sort of how things used to be in the film days. As I keep saying, it doesn\'t matter how the bottom line is achieved as long as it doesn\'t get worse. I\'m guessing they would sell more than enough prosumer models to make up for a drop in 1 series revenue.
Point. Very true in the $3K price tag. You can buy a D700, 5D2 or 1D3.
When I said prosumer, I meant $1K price tag, like the OP meant, I think.
Anyway, the richer the prosumer, the more I agree with you.
