I once shot in red rock canyon (thats the desert) with a sony vx1000, a canon XL1, a Nikon D100 and a comparable Canon digital slr D10 I think?

BOTH the Canon cameras got sand in them from the wind and had to be sent to canon for repair. the nikon and the sony had no problems

THATS were Nikon Cameras shine and thats why they are the choice of photojournalists world wide

I shoot with a Nikon D2X and if you worried about sand and rain, it seems to be the camera to look at since it's part of the actual design...

"The D2X body design, while similar to that of the D2H, has been optimized for easy operation with emphasis on the convenient placement of camera buttons. The durability and waterdrop/dust-resistance of the D2X, however, doesn?t end with the body. Internal mechanisms such as the shutter unit and mirror balancer have also been designed for the maximum durability required of professional cameras."

I'm quite happy with this camera and I feel that I will use it for years to come, it's at a point where it already takes better pictures (quality) than my 35MM film camera ever did. Plus it's simple to use and just feels right. I have not used the Cannon so I can not compare, but I don't see any reason given what this camera can already do, why I would upgrade it even if something faster/flashier came down the pike.
