They may be serious about this, as they should be, but I think they, Nikon and 
Pentax. Although oly and Panasonic may have stumbled a bit, they seem to get 
it. Fuji deserves credit or going outside the box, and the Koreans could be 
major in a few years. But canon? (cue chuckles)

fire sale on the model Ms... not worth it even at half price.
