If Canon had come up with a 20Mp camera with video and with IQ, AF, responsiveness, features and build comparable to the D700 at that price then I think that no-one would be hesitant to say they are the undisputed champs at the moment. But I believe they haven't. So it depends on one's criteria.

The problem is that Canon works a bit differently than Nikon.
While Nikon is willing to add "pro" features to a sub-$3,000 camera, Canon works a different way.
The "5D" series, whether in 2003, 2008, or 2018, has been introduced because of one reason: To *economically* put out a camera with a full-frame sensor with an attractive amount of megapixels, with outstanding image quality (or the best image quality, according to most people) and some basic features.
Weather sealing, Pro-AF, high-speed FPS? Maybe that's reserved for another camera coming soon.
Those who need it can only hope. Otherwise, for people who aren't picky, the 5D series = Win.
