It's funny to see what the market researchers thought about the future a few years back ... ;-)

When you look at this, it's actually quite amazing that there are still so many players and so many new product announcements.

And it's also amazing that this portal is still in business (sort of).

     I agree, which is why I ask here so often ...... "who are buying all these new lenses?"

 Nikon seem to have lost contact with the importance of keeping an on going buzz about their company and it's new products ...... the Nikon buzz is vapourising before our very eyes ......  

......... and maybe it's time for an industry rethink about keeping everything under wraps until launch dates ......  too much secrecy can let customers slip away to another brand because of a lull in the action.

   You don't see that from Tesla for example ....... their plans about their products are showcased a year or more in advance in seminar form ...... it's clear what they will do, nothing is a secret ...... and people love it 

btw.  ..... their share prices are absolutely sky rocketing  ...... right now they are at $1,555 per share ....


   Tesla is now officially the richest car manufacturer in the world!
