Right now they have a huge hole in their line up. $999 for a D70 (6MP) and about $4-5000 for the D2x with the 4MP D2H in the middle, which suddenly isn't looking all that hot. I think the big question is will the D200 be a stripped down D2x, like the F100 was to the F5, and will it be 8MP or use the same 12.4 MP chip. There is also talk of a full frame D3, but who knows if that's just hot air. What would not be good is if they take 6 months to introduce it at PMA... Canon will have sold a lot of D20's by then. Feli
