Well, you wouldn't want them to sacrifice quality control to get more units
out faster. Some companies, faced with a similar demand for one of their
products, might do precisely that. One hopes that it would be a losing
strategy.

Canon must be doing pretty well. My impression is that the
XTi/400D/[whatever_they_call_it_in_Japan] is also selling better than they
might have expected.
