The new focusing system is interesting and the crop sensor could be useful foe the wildlife.

I still think that unless you go for the 1ds mk3 that the 6D is the best camera in the line but I am no expert with Canon stuff.
The twirly dial on the back that adjusts stuff and chooses menu items puts me off.
Nikon ergonomics suit me better.
There is little or nothing between the camera and lens ranges from Nikon and Canon.
To each his or her own choice!

I certainly hope that a D400 will arrive sooner rather than later but the D7100 seems to be Nikon's best in the DX range but it doesnt have the build of the D300.

I used a D7100 for 3 weeks, mainly for video, and found the menues to be amaturish and rather anoying in general.

Would have rather used my D5100 except for the slightly better video in the D7100.

I think Nikon now need to get their finger out and produce a pro spec D300 replacement.

I know of a few Nikon users that are looking at the new 7Dmkii.

Well I bought a 7Dmkii and wish I hadn't as in two months it's been back to Canon with focus issues.
Just got it back today so let's hope it works right or I might be looking seriously at Nikon again.

Well still no better, twice at Canon and they say they can't find a fault, a burst of 8 shots of a gull in flight and 1 sharp shot, the rest soft.

I'm not sure there is a better Nikon model though! I'm pretty underwhelmed by the offerings from Canon and Nikon as they seem to be Me2 items rather than innovations and new technologies.

If you like Canon interface then stick with Canon and same goes for Nikon users.
I dont think there is much to choose between these two for wuality and operational benefits.
With Fuji the game changes as these are different beasts for different uses but the Fuji cant compete with Nikon and Canon for sport, wildlife and action sequences. Either the AF isnt fast enough or the lens range is too limited. This will change in the next 18 months but there is still pain on this early adopter route!

You may be right, JK..but I feel the Fuji needs more than just longer lenses to compete with DSLRs on the speed dependant subjects you mention,
