Nikon and Canon technically leapfrog each other continuously.
That being said, this annoncement is most likely an april fools day prank.
The following is excerpted from the 'official' announcement.
"Built-in Wildlife Call Not only can the EOS-1D W remain hidden, it can bring the wildlife to the camera. By inserting a memory card with your favorite wildlife call recorded on it (MP3 and WAV formats supported), the EOS 1D-W can play back the recording. No longer does the photographer need to carry a duck, turkey, predator, deer or other call with them to attract wildlife. Canon will provide open source MP3 wildlife call audio files at a website to be announced."

D810, D3x, 14-24/2.8, 50/1.4D, 24-70/2.8, 24-120/4 VR, 70-200/2.8 VR1, 80-400 G, 200-400/4 VR1, 400/2.8 ED VR G, 105/2 DC, 17-55/2.8. Nikon N90s, F100, F, lots of Leica M digital and film stuff.
OK, now for the real question....how far do the rain drops fall in 1/200th sec? If one looks at the large size, it appears they fall nearly one foot or about 30 cm. But the terminal velocity of rain is about 90 cm per second, or in 1/200th sec would fall only 0.45 cm...how interesting......
