Oh, and of course Canon has never stooped to such a thing! You are so full
of it.

nikon has a way to promote a deficiency, so kudos to them for making
something negative look positive. there probably was no way nikon
could squeeze 8fps from a 12.4mp camera, and they know they need 8fps
to satisfy the sports market. so, nikon engineers/pr people get
together and develop some scheme. in this case, lower the mp and boost
the speed and not tell anybody that it's actually a deficiency that
canon will probably be able to do.

when the n90s first came out, nikon made a big deal out of keeping
focus on the main subject, even if something momentarily crossed its
path. well, i surmised that the AF was too slow to even realize
something crossed its path, and the nikon pr dept turned around this
deficiency.

there are probably several other instances where nikon pr turned
things around.
