To keep this Nikon related, the biggest rumour claim I've seen so far for the 5D3 is that it will have "less MP than expected". In other words, no one knows, but it might not be extremely high. This could lead to a role reversal with Nikon having the higher MP "affordable" next generation full frame body.

I doubt that... A new 5D-III even with that not so high MP resolution would by all means have improvements in other important areas (e.g. AF and metering, maybe better video than expected etc...). And concerning the competition, I believe the real power of 5D-III will be it's price for such a great FF package. I don't think that hypothetical 5D-III would have higher price than a hypothetical 36mp Nikon FX camera, regardless of the fact that we don't pay for each pixel...
