Corporate culture = Pointing fingers at others

Did you really expected Canon to say: The market is shrinking and we can't come up with new product, therefore we need to forgo profits.

 

For years Canon did it very right. Now they are in mega-pixel frenzy mode rather than being innovative.

I am still baffled that they are afraid of pushing their own mirrorless system. Yes, if they do it will take business away from DSLRs but so what? As long as the company as a whole has benefits from this ...

 

I know Japanese companies a bit - they love their department silos. And the DSLR department is certainly shielding their silo from any internal threat at all costs. Unlike Canon, Sony wasn't successful with their DSLRs so they had a sufficient motivation to move on.
