Canon is the only one of the big 5 camera manufacturers and one of the few
major companies in Japan that are more than 50% foreign owned.

Canon's lack of spiffs is one reason I despise them so much. Every camera
manufacturer spiffs their products except Canon. Their cameras sell like
crazy, you'd think they could afford to thank the salespeople a little.
Canon doesn't care about the little people, so when I was in sales, I'd do
whatever it took to steer people away from Canon (I never flat-out lied,
though). It's funny, though: A couple decades ago, Canon was the company
that started the whole spiff thing to increase their sales, forcing the
rest of the industry to follow. Now that they're on top, they send a big
"Screw you" to the people who got them there.
