TD Nikon Coolpix 900 receives acclaim at Comdex zdnet.com I believe this new camera and the Canon A5 are going to change a lot of consumer perception and buying patterns. The Canon ELPH became the most successful camera worldwide by taking advantage of the APS film format. These new digital cameras also bring unique features to the market (Canon CCD is listed with dual light sensitivity ). Canon announcement of a $500 (street price) dye-sub printer, which directly downloads CF memory card, is a also a significant development. powershot.com It is interesting that both Canon and Nikon are better known for their Cameras. The stepper divisions of each company also compete in the microprocessor foundry business. These divisions are larger than their Camera divisions. With technological expertise in both microprocessors and cameras, both use CF. Perhaps a lesson for Sandisk, a technological advanced company should not ignore name recognition development. jjb
