This is untrue. Canon has made their reputation in digital through consistently increasing the quality of their DSLRs and being two steps ahead of everyone else in doing so. Since the 1Ds, image quality is *the* issue in digital.
It is the vision that keeps Canon ahead of everyone else. They were working on R&D when everyone was still sleeping. When their products hit the market, everyone was awaken.
Canon is eating Nikon's lunch in digital and they know it. The 1Ds dominates the high quality segment of the market. The 1D shoots 8 fps and produced 4 megapixel images (better than the Nikon D1H). The 10D is dominating the basic DSLR segment of the market. There are (fortunately) some people at Nikon who are scared sh*tless by all this.
This has been happening since the late 80's. Isn't it a bit too late now?
Why would they sell it to only one camera maker? :-)
If it's for 1 maker only, it won't be Pentax for certain (or they must be mad).
There is a persistent rumour that Contax N Digital has been discontinued.
Do you think anyone will notice? ;-)
There is a also a rumour that only 2000 units were sold, worldwide.
