Nikon Fires Back

Nikon announces two new flagship cameras, the D3 and D300.

"Nikon, you may move to the head of the class (although Canon will still be sitting in front of you)."

Canon Raises the Bar...Again

Today, Canon announced their latest flagship camera, the EOS-1Ds Mark III. I hate to be one to compare megapixels, but this camera is up there, weighing in at 21 megapixels. That's basically the quality of traditional medium-format cameras. However, that power comes at a high price tag of $7999 (body only).

And if you're working on a slightly smaller budget, you might want to check out Canon's 40D, a very nice pro-sumer level camera. It seems to be the equivalent of Nikon's D200. You can find its preview at DPR by clicking here.

Alas, poor Nikon, always the bride's maid...
