You can skip the A77 right away, as it will have an LCD instead of an optical view finder.
Canon has a better lens lineup than Nikon in this area, the 15-85 IS does not have to hide for the Nikon 16-85 VR, and the compact Canon primes are interesting too. No reason to just look at L-lenses, and the 70-200mm lenses do not really seem to fit the stated requirements.
For landscape I'd rather look at a Canon 5D mk II, as it offers live view, also brilliant lenses among its wider lens line up, and a bit better high ISO performance. But both FF cameras will result in much heavier set ups with a much higher price.

Canon's midrange L lenses are worth mentioning since they set apart that system, I believe this is about choosing the "right" system, so talking about camera bodies without the context of the lenses that can be used is a bit vague.. BTW the Canon 15-85 doesn't seem so well rounded as the Nikkor equivalent judging by photozone tests <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I mentioned the full format A 850 since the main objective is landscape photog. - here the Sony works quite well while being much cheaper then Canon or Nikon FX bodies.. The weight and price penalty is still there, yet as an alternative solution to APS-C gang, is worth mentioning IMO.
