Среди подводников особенно много любителей Никона и Фуджи.
Предлагаю обсудить fresh news по нашей теме:

Nikon Systems Inc. and Fujitsu Broad Solution & Consulting Inc. establish a joint company
June 30, 2009
Nikon Corporation (Michio Kariya, President) announces that Nikon Systems Inc. (Masao Hagimoto, President), a subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, and Fujitsu Broad Solution & Consulting Inc. (Takao Kaneko, President; hereafter, Fujitsu BSC) establish a new joint company, named "Nikon Imaging Systems Inc.". The company will be solely responsible for the firmware development in Nikon digital cameras. Nikon Imaging Systems Inc. will initiate operations in August 2009.
Firmware is the software built into devices that provides fundamental control over hardware. As the performance of digital devices becomes higher, so does the importance of firmware. To date, all firmware installed in Nikon digital cameras has been developed by Nikon Corporation and its subsidiary, Nikon Systems Inc.
The new company is dedicated exclusively to the firmware development for Nikon digital cameras. The objective of the company will be to proceed with the establishment of firmware platforms and to accelerate the speed and quality of firmware development by merging the long experienced mechatronics control and image processing technologies established in Nikon Corporation and Nikon Systems Inc. with the software technology, know-how, and resources provided by Fujitsu BSC.
Как считаете, что бы эта новость могла значить для нас фотографов ?

Мое мнение: Фуджи перестает выпускать зеркальные камеры, завязывает, в общем. Возможно. И второе, - в скором времени, вероятно, ожидаем подъема качества никоновского firmware, - на новый уровень

Кэнон ... начинает хуже спать по ночам ...

У кого какие мнения ?
