'In 2008 we aim to capture the top market share in Japan as well as
globally, in both the compact and SLR camera segments,' Canon
president Tsuneji Uchida told a press conference.

Seems more like a dream than reality. He forgets one major thing:
first they'll have to really get better than Nikon and that will be a
difficult task.

Especially now with the D3 readily available and taking the photography
world by storm. Even the two new Nikkors are having Canon users drooling
and jumping back to Nikon. Canon is dead in the water since they can't
produce lenses half as good as the 14-24/2.8 and 24-70/2.8 Nikkors.

Rita, you are a hoot! Half as good?

Modulation transfer function? Spherical distortion? Chromatic aberrations?
Color fringing? Internal reflections? Focus speed? Focus ratio, center to
edge? Image stabilization? Weather sealing? Build quality? Repeatability
(QC)?

Post some evidence.
