At CES 2020, Canon has launched EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR and Nikon has come up with D780 DSLR Camera. In a time when Camera manufacturers are building and competing in Mirrorless Camera market, it was a bit surprising to see both these Camera giants still producing high end DSLR cameras.
Are these Two cameras going to be the last high end DSLRs coming out of Canon and Nikon factories ? In my opinion, that's going to be the case.
When Nikon launched D850 a while back, a lot of reviewers were quick to predict it as the Last, Best DSLR camera we would ever see. Nikon has already starting selling Mirrorless Full Frame Cameras now - Nikon Z7 and Z6. They even launched an APS-C Mirrorless body - Z50 with the same Z-mount lens mount.
Canon on the other hand launched EOS R - Canon’s First Full-Frame Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera. They also launched a lite version of this, named EOS RP with the same mount. Canon also has EOS M Series which are APS-C size mirrorless cameras. Recently, they launched EOS M6 Mark II and EOS M200.
So, as you can see, both these Giants have started to take Mirrorless market seriously. In 2020, we will for sure see a lot more Full Frame Mirrorless Cameras and lenses from both Nikon and Canon for sure.
Since Sony got a headstart in this market, they have plenty of lenses ready for their E-mount cameras. Nikon and Canon only has got a handful of native lenses right now - however you can use their DSLR lenses on their respective bodies using adapters.

What Camera should Nikon and Canon release in 2020 - 2021?
Currently, for a Landscape photographer, any of these high end Cameras from Nikon, Canon, Panasonic, Sony etc can be used without much issues. But for people who love to shoot action and sports, currently only Sony has got the right camera and right lenses available in the Mirrorless market.
So, first priority for Nikon and Canon should be to launch a FAST Mirrorless Camera with great tracking and AF to compete with Sony A9 Series of cameras. Like Sony did during the launch of their A9 camera, launch a 400mm F2.8 prime lens along with it.
The launch of a mirrorless Canon EOS-1D X or a Nikon D5 would spice up the mirrorless market.
