It strikes me that Nikon is poised for a serious fall from grace. I know they'll still be doing better than Pentax, but nowhere near the kind on dominance they had with 35mm.
REPLY: It doesn't make sense to me. Nikon will manufacture 1 000 000 DSLR this year giving them roughly 50% market share if Canons predictaments are reliable. When I stared out in photography Nikon was a small niche manufacturer selling significantly fewer cameras than Pentax, Canon and Minoltas. Their cameras were used by the pro but ultra conservative and they generally introduced features about 5 years later than Pentax. Also they didn't make point & shoot back then but now they sell a lot of those. Howe could this be a fall from grace? P�l
