Typical sine curve - a couple of years ago D90 and D300 were cannibalising 50D's sales, D3 - 1D III's, or D3x - 1Ds III's (well, this one still is). Now Canon has an upper hand with 7D (had actually, before the D7000), etc.[/quote]
D90/D300 vs 50D: Canon's mistakes: (1) they should not have introduced a high pixel count sensor when they were not ready (before the 7D) (2) their fear of cannibalizing the 1D3 sales caused them to excessively cripple the 50D. There would not have been a 7D if the D300 wasn't so successful.
D3 vs 1D3: How Canon could sell a professional sports camera with serious AF issues is beyond me.
D3X vs 1Ds3: Actually, when it comes to FF, the 5D2 wins it all.... by a wide margin. The D700 can't even hold a candle to the 5D2 in terms of market shares (see BCNRanking for example). Even though the Sony 850 is the cheapest FF camera, it's really NOT selling at all. Strange. Rumors have it that because Canon's very own 5D2 cannibalized sales of their 1Ds3 (notwithstanding the primitive 5D2 AF sensor), Canon will re-position the 1Ds4 in a completely different league altogether.
7D vs D7000: Really? The D300s is still kicking around (even though it's due for replacement soon), so it's the legitimate competitor to the 7D. What about trying to compare the pathetic sales of the D7000 to the 60D? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

1Ds III: 5fps @ 21MP = 105MB/s
D3x: 5fps @ 24MP = 120MB/s [/quote]
Actually, before the 7D/1D4, I was always under the impression Nikon's processor is a lot faster than Canon's.
