Sepcifically, Canon F_____ up when they...
All of this is why Nikon is back stronger than ever and why Canon has been losing market share all along.

WTF? Show me the data, please? What, cat got your keyboard? Let me help.
2007 IDC Worldwide Digital Camera Market Share Review, cited here: Canon was again number 1 with share of 43 percent...Nikon was second with share of 40 percent...Sony again placed third, with a share of 6 percent, unchanged from 2005.
2010 IDC Worldwide Digital Camera Market Share Review, cited here: In the market for cameras with interchangeable lens, or single lens reflex cameras, Canon controlled 44.5 percent of the market, followed by Nikon with 29.8 percent and Sony with 11.9 percent, according to the data.
Sorry, but your 'facts' are bull$h!t. As some simple math shows, Canon has not been 'losing market share all along' in fact, they've gained market share, going from 43% to 44.5%. Nikon is the one that's been losing market share - they lost more than 10% and that's a pretty siginificant loss - and they lost much of it to Sony.
So, what did Canon really do? Sell more dSLRs than any other manufacturer, year over year. If that sounds like they're f__king up to you...well, you need to learn to interpert actual facts a bit more carefully.

Canon, I'm sure, is quaking in their financial boots at your threat. Or not. Either way, don't tell us, we don't care. Just go buy a D800 and be happy...

Why do people make statements like this? What makes you think it is costing them market share, and more importantly, do you have any data to back that up? The availbale data show that Canon's market share for dSLRs has been increasing for the past several years. So by the relevant objective measure, Canon is doing things right, not 'dead wrong'.

"Canon is losing market share" claims usually boil down to a bunch of internet fanatics who think their opinions are more important than they really are, just because like-minded internet fanatics give them e-high-fives and virtual pats on the back. Gee, my online buddies agree with me, so it must be true.
