6 months later scenario...
Canon release 400D successor 450D with 14 megapixels and 5 fps and optional video mode with 3" flipout screen live preview and built in GPS receiver at half the price of Nikon D40. Guess whose sales will be on top again???
The point is, Canon & Nikon occupy at least 80% of the dSLR market, these two companies are always playing "catch me if you can" in both sales and product innovation, whilst in the distance the other players struggle to keep up.
All the thing for only half price of D40 ;p . I hope they are not closing down after that.6 months later scenario...

I'll bet you they have already been in a secret alliance since Nikon stopped making lenses for Canon. Just look at how they stagger their new camera releases? They never release something in the same class at the same time, leaving lots of room for each other. That's probably how they have been able to maintain such a large share of the market for each other! If they really were rivals, they would have released cameras at the same time and let the consumers fight it out, but they don't.Ha ha ha good one mate. Yea the catching up is good for us consumers. Let's just hope they don't form a secret alliance or something.
No.. don't move.. just copy. ;pcan moderator move this thread to the Canon section? :devil:
Healthy fight is good. Hopefully the price going down and benefit to all :sweatsm: .Either its a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch the mouse, its a good cat.
Why do you all like to fight against brand? Both brands produce both high and low ends camera and they have their fair share of good and bad points. The most important factor that ppl tends to forget is that by the person behind the camera is the most crucial factor of the equation to a good photo.

I dun think this kinda stats is going to help one take better photos.
These are baits to get you hooked to their brand. Den they will slauther you all on the expensive acessories, lens and even servicing and repairs. When the get you hooked on the brand den you all will defend them like you own the company which in term is helping the 2 company to profits from us. In fact from consumer stand point we should be united and point out all the pros and cons of each model/brand.
