Digital BW, The Print

At one point Nikon had said they were 'committed' to the smaller sensor size.  I don't know if that's changed.
 
It will be interesting to see the comparisons between the new Canon and the Nikon D2x since they both have the same pixel count.

More importantly for those of you who drool over press releases, it will
cause Nikon to hurry up with their full frame chip . . . maybe (they are
still at a price point considerably higher than Canon), and it will be
interesting to see if Minolta, Pentax etc rush forth in a foolhardy manner.
Canon still has to address their 1/4 success rate with their chip . . . if
there is a mad rush for this camera there might well be long delays . . .
that NEVER makes for a happy customer.

It makes me think of the viruses . . . oops, excuse me, the "improved" OSs
we have had from Apple and MS over the recent years . . . put on the market
just to be ahead of the other guy, even though the product was barely ready.

When ALL the cameras available are full frame that will be a step forward. I
for one (along with a few thousand others) don't appreciate my
multi-thousand dollar wide optics like a 14 f2.8 suddenly become a
grotesquely overweight 21 f2.8 . . . that is not progress . . . it is BS.
