And what's the downside to this?

Well, since you asked... the downside is that Nikon might be perceived as
not showing support for a market that has continued to give them strong
support. While sales of Nikon products may have slipped in other world
markets, they have continued to do very well in Canada.

Yeah, but where do you plug the battery recharger into your igloo?

You seem confused by the size of Canada, the second largest country in
the world. The majority of its southern border is approx. at the same
49 degrees latitude as the northern edge of Paris/France, and its most
southern latitude is similar to the latitude of the norther part of
Spain and Portugal.

I know all of that. It's just that Canadians are sooooo cute when they
take mild offense!

And NYC is the same latitude as Portugal. That only affects sunrise
times, not weather conditions!

Wouldn't know, I'm from the Netherlands (winters not cold enough for
serious igloos ;-) ).

Maybe you lucky Canadians won't have to bother with the first round of
firmware downloads and battery recalls. Your glass is half full.

That's ok, Canada, and the rest of the world, got the Canon 5D before the US
did, so maybe Nikon's just trying to address the inequity.

Amazing how digital SLRs have become like motor vehicles, with the
better quality production units becoming available after production has
been going on for a while. Yet despite that, clueless people rush to buy
the latest model the instant it comes on the market.

I suspect they won't send too many to Mongolia either.....

The Canadian market, compared to the US market, is miniscule - no
rocket science involved. You go where the money is - and that's just
good business....!
