Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / April 2007Time to buy Canon or Nikon stock?
Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is switching from Nikon to Canon. And today, at the local Easter Parade, most of the Dslr toting yuppies had Nikon gear. Must be a deeper meaning there somewhere. DP A lot of newspaper people prefer Canon's for sport and what I've seen here is many papers move over completely to Canon so that they have one lot of gear that can be shared across the photogs, whether they mainly shoot sport or more general. For everyone else, Nikon and Canon are both great and offer many great lenses. I really do think it is personal preference issue only, unless you already have a lot of money sunk into lenses. In the real amateur photog area of occasional weekend shooters, the Nikon name has a lot of traction for historical reasons. Cheers, Wayne Wayne J.

It was straightforward for me; a simple Google search did it. http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/portfolio/ir/faq/index.htm  SignatureTHIS IS A SIG LINE; NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! The White House gave John Kerry's campaign nemesis Sam Fox, who funded the Swift Boat Veterans, a recess appointment to Belgium on Wednesday. Nothing ever changes. John Kerry insisted he was for the appointment before he was against the appointment. >In order to buy Nikon stock you have to know who the parent company of Nikon >really is. >This is not so straightforward as you might think . . . It's Nikon Corp., as listed on the stock exchange. What was your point? > Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is > switching from Nikon to Canon.

When "huge media chains" switch to Canon...the one "suffering" the loss...will be Nikon. -But nobody really expected you to get the point, Rich.

If less than 100, who cares? >Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is >switching from Nikon to Canon.

This is only one reason why the actual ownership of Nikon is not necessarily what Nikon posts on their website. > Search Mitsubishi's postings: some list Nikon as a subsidiary. This is only > one reason why the actual ownership of Nikon is not necessarily what Nikon > posts on their website. Q1: Is Mitsubishi a single company? A1: No. "Mitsubishi" is a community that consists of a multitude of independent companies. The names of most - but not all - of those companies contain the word "Mitsubishi." And many of the companies use the three-diamond Mitsubishi mark. But none calls itself simply "Mitsubishi." So the term subsidiary is not quite correct. Q4: Do the Mitsubishi companies have some kind of decision-making body that determines overall policy for the companies? A4: No. But all the companies honor the Three Principles prescribed by Koyata Iwasaki, the Fourth and final president of the old Mitsubishi organization: 1. Corporate Social Responsibility, 2. Integrity and Fairness, and 3. International Understanding through Trade. See http://www.mitsubishi.com/e/group/about.html for more. See http://www.nikon.co.jp/main/eng/portfolio/ir/stock_info/status.htm for actual Nikon stock ownership. // marc > Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is > switching from Nikon to Canon.

I might plonk John Smith on general principles, in any case. | Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is | switching from Nikon to Canon. The release of 5D and the announcement of 1DMkIII changed a lot of thing in the photographic market. There's switching of pro's from Nikon to Canon of avalanche proportions going on right now. | And today, at the local Easter Parade, most of the Dslr toting yuppies had | Nikon gear. Most likely these were secondary market buyers. Because of the above used market is currently oversaturated with discarded Nikon bodies and lenses in mint condition. >| Last week I found out that the local paper (part of a huge media chain) is >| switching from Nikon to Canon.

Sounds like cult ranting to me. Show some evidence (real data) for your suppositions. |
