This is a gadget rumor site so I see it as appropriate.
At any rate, it's only a matter of time before Nikon came out with a successor to its flagship camera. I'm dissapointed at the MP it has though, as Canon's next flag-cam will more than likely be in the 20+ area. Also, the near full frame sounds like Nikon caving a bit into the FF demands but time will tell if this was a viable decision. I am sure that more than a few DX people will not be pleased.
On another note, I imagine some of the new features will be groundbreaking as the D2X was. Here's to hoping that they've finally gotten that monkey off their back (read: figured out how to cut down the noise on high ISOs).
It isn't known what the resolution of the D3 series will be nor is it known what the 1Ds3 resolution will be. It's a little early to be declaring your disappointment.
The most common rumors have the Nikon at 19 and the Canon at 22. At those numbers the linear resolution difference is 7.5% and it all comes at the edges. Hard to believe that will make much difference. In comparison, the current difference is 16% and yet most reviewers say the result is incremental. If you are truly disappointed then you don't know what you are talking about.
Sony and Nikon have made a lot of progress on noise, but a 19MP sensor with a 1.1x crop, also part of the rumor, means that the new pixels will actually be bigger than those on the D2x (by perhaps 10%). That's the reason for not pleasing those DX people. If they don't do that, Canon will be giving them a severe beating on noise. Canon's pixels will be getting smaller, down to a very similar size, by the way. The race is about to tighten up.

What a useless post. At this time there are nothing but rumors (the same rumors we've been seeing for over a year). Must be a slow news day.
