Where is Canon ?

I bought a second body (Nex-5N) as a portable backup to my fantastic 2-year-old Canon 7D. I haven't tried image quality just yet but whats up with the incredible amount to technology in this small marvel. Is Canon lagging behind ??.

PS: I am not a troll. Please check my previous posts. I have been a canon addict since 1991 when my father gave me his AE-1. I am just extremely worried Canon is starting to age. Political and economic giants can easily fall if they fail to realize the future might be a little different from the past.
