Years ago Nikon had the PJ market locked up, then lost
it to Canon's innovation and lens lineup. Digital has
one a lot of it back. But if Canon gives them a good
enough reason, they'll switch again.
But frankly, I don't give a damn. It's been more than
30 years since I made equipment choices based on what
the "pros" used. I'll buy what works best for me (at
a price I can afford).
