So, yeah, I'm wrong on the "nobody but Sony" point. I don't think I'm
wrong on the "dominant or crushing position" objective on Sony's part.
Making Nikon help pay for it is just icing from Sony's point of view.
My guess is Sony's objective is to be one of the major players.
For example, almost every camera store carries N & C, but not all
have Pentax or Olympus. I've seen online advice that some buyers
should consider only N or C because they have the broadest range
of lenses and you can rent lenses for them easily. I'm not sure that
is correct and it is irrelevant to me anyway, but it is out there.
Sony want to be a major brand in DSLRs, competing with N & C.
That objective has to be rated "succeeded" in the UK. _The_ major photo
chain now stocks CNS, with S given equal prominence to the others. NO
Pentax, which has been relegated to one of the major box shifters, and
precious little else.
