what's up with Nikon?
Canon announces their new products a month, or two at the most, before they
appear in the market. Nikon's doing the FUD more than half a year away, like the D70 and now the D2X. |

Attempting to head off the loss of customers to Canon. Sort of a - "Hey
guys - if you just hold on, we'll be here pretty soon." Like the new professional sports/news camera Nikon just announced last week in time for the 2004 Summer Olympics, so all those Nikon pros can catch --- Ooops! I guess that one is for the 2006 Winter Olympics. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "leo" wrote in message ink.net...

Nikon's doing the FUD more than half a year away, like the D70 and now the D2X. Let's face it... Nikon is clearly behind the curve when it comes to keeping pace wth Canon's productivity in new technology. Nikon is announcing early specifically to try and keep Nikon users from jumping ship. They are losing more and more photogs to Canon--in part because Canon keeps coming up with the good in a timely manner. Their 12MP competition to Canon's 1Ds is already behind BEFORE it's released! So...in a desparate attempt to not lose folks, they have to show what's coming well in advance. Meanwhile, Canon 1Ds Mark IIs will be IN THE FIELD, at 16.7MP. Nikon had better do something OTHER than what they've done the last two years or they will descend into real competetive trouble as they lose more and more of their heart and soul users. Canon is treading into medium format territory now, with this latest 16.7MP monster. They intend to go after calendar folks, fashion, and full-page magazine shooters. Meanwhile, Nikon's only high res DSLR is limited to less than 8MP, and even their future release is behind. Come on Nikon! I'm pulling for ya! |

Are you perhaps forgetting the Canon DO lenses? B I don't know the story of the DO lenses but possibly due to production problem. It's different from Nikon's situation. I think there were no competition for the DO lenses so there's no need to use FUD tactics. |
