Will the "new" Nikon D7100 lower the price....

Competition is good, both for evolution of technology, and for us, the consumers. We get more for our money. However, the Canon L-series lenses are fantastic, and they have an extremely good reputation. I think Canon will continue to do its thing with not bothering about how the competition is pricing and/or speccing their cameras. Their L-series lenses is what is saving them.

I must say, they are quite arrogant. One example is the 10s. delay self timer. I have this one in my Rebel, but in the 5D2/3 you have to buy a separate remote trigger to get this function. Stupid, as it is only a software implementation. Also, compared to Nikon or Sony, Canon seems lower specced when comparing competing models. On the other hand, what Canon are delivering is quality I think. The specs may be lower than the competition but in the real world the Canon functions seems to work better than the supposedly superior specced competition.

I like Canon, but I think they should be careful and not be so arrogant. Tides do turn, and if they keep under speccing and over pricing I think they´ll loose customers in the long run.

What I´m trying to say is that Canon is gonna launch their cameras, not bothering about the specs of the Nikon D7100.
