This clearly isn't Nikon's day, its Canon's. One could quibble over the D70's noisy CMOS or underexposure issues, but you chose your camera because of what you wanted at the time. So don't come in here and say how the current canon line is going to be beat up by the super nikon's of the future. Cause today, that isn't happening.
no one likes a fan boy, you bought the camera which you thought was best at the time (underexposure issues aside) one day apple will suck and some other computer company will come up with an even more likable gui than os x, until that day i'll use a mac but i wont be closed to alternatives,if people were closed to alternatives most people will still be using a command line on desktops, it's called healthy competition it's the basis of capitalism, sticking to one brand through thick and thin is counter to this system, canon has the limelight because it's come out with a kick ass camera, heck maybe one day even casio may be the SLR king, branding means nothing if a product costs more and is insuperior to another.
when the competition is loosing it deserves to take second place, i think what jared is getting at is that this puts the nail in the coffin of the SLR king status, it wont put them down forever.
