Default Nikon buys Canon for 34.2M Euros

http://www.foxnews.com.nikon-buys-ca...uys-Canon.html

Will the updated 5D be called the 5Dx?

OMG.... is this for really? Why wasn't there any negotiations about? This spells major major trouble for the dedicated Canon users. Will Nikon continue to manufacture spares for Canon EOS professional cameras?

They should have rebates for Canon users who have professional range of cameras should they choose to switch......

This really turns the tables upside down. Finally, a winner has emerged.....

How many CSers are there? If each of us contribute like $500 we can launch a counter offer for $35mil... Finally we'll get to dictate what a camera should be like....

If Nikon were to really buy over Canon.. there would be one hell of a huge outcry from Canon users~

Looking at the article itself, the english and all.. can tell that it's fake le. But i'm sure it still shocked certain ppl arnd here..

If Canon can be bought for 32 million, i think our Temasek Holding will be the first to purchase I think 32 million is not even enough to purchase Canon Singapore let alone Canon Inc.
