I think this a lot of assumptions without facts. If there is one positions you want to be in it is that of Canon and Nikon. Completely stable market share AND value line, which means they did not have to cut prices. Sony gained market share by introducing new product, but has cut their prices and still look like they loose market share. Both Canon and Nikon just introduced new and exciting (particularly Nikon with the auto AF for video and their quality level)products that sell like hotcakes. SLR is not going away over night and Canikon both have compacts and bridges that represent the bulk of their sales. Why should they worry? They dominate the market and are not about to lose their position. If anyone has to worry it is Pentax, and Olympus. They are marginal at best and Panasonic eats their lunch in the compact market. Sony will take market share, but maybe they will also create new markets? Apart from the 2 biggies, they are the only one with the resources to do so. They did not buy Minolta for nothing. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
