I can.....and to be honest, people will pay for a cracking camera with high mp/ pixel density AND excellent high ISO performance. It's probably a good time to launch new technology too, in a bid to inject some movement into a sales market that has slowed of late (recession, yen vs pound/dollar etc)
However, my first thought is.......how much did they pay SONY for the rights to use the model number 7D? Or, maybe those model number 'rights/ownership' died with the KonicaMinolta name and weren't transferable to SONY?? Similar happened with Olympus vs Leica when the Olympus M1 (which became the OM1) was launched.
I'm sure there will be plenty of Canon 7D vs Nikon D300s comparisons coming in the press and online reviews.
Interesting times
