Yikes that's big news. So much for oligopoly.. Whoever the Canon CEO is.. I say he'll be on the cover of Fortune sometime soon because damn he's doing a good job- everyone else is scrambling! Syl, you mentioned the idea of Pentax marrying Nikon- imagine them making Nikkor and Pentax lenses in both mounts! (I don't think they'll come up with a new mount because it'll effectively isolate both companies glass arsenals.. Sounds like more than a lot of planning (compared to say when two financial institutions merge; no technology involved other than maybe a couple of water coolers?) Hmm.. big news..
