its quite a different target audience altogether. i doubt anyone with an existing setup will cross over just for the price n resolution.

It will drop. Maybe not as much as we wanted.

All digital product prices will drop with time. A new model will alway be cheaper and better.

Price drop, good. Price not drop, jump ship?

No doubt there are a lot of existing users that will not jump ship just because of the price. However, there are even more potential users that might choose an alternative product due to the price so Nikon and Canon will feel the price pressure and need to respond accordingly.

The A900 priced at US$3k is good for consumers since Nikon will have to drop their D700 price and that might be the reason why Canon is rumored to be coming out with 2 FF models to attack the different segments of the market. This way, they can still price the more advanced model at a premium and have an 'economical' model to compete on price along...
