Canon has announced a new magnesium body CMOS digital SLR.
Could a tougher bodied Nikon or Fuji be on the way?

"The Canon EOS 10D is a 6.3 megapixel (CMOS [x1.6]) digital SLR with high-speed, wide-area 7-point AF with superimposed focusing points. Built on a rigid, magnesium body, the camera offers outstanding durability within the harshest of environments, and accepts Canon's full line of EF lenses. The EOS 10D has a suggested retail price of US $1,999 (est. Street $1,499) and will be available in March 2003."

Fuji and Nikon need to make more money back on their cameras before they release something new. Canon was not satisfied with the D60 and its poor AF abilities, so they yanked it and released another 6MP cam. I'm sure the S2 and D100 prices will fall, but I doubt there will be new DSLRs from these guys before summer or fall.
