<p><strong>Profits & Revenue Down

</strong>Canon’s Q3, 2012 results have been announced and the news is horrible. Canon only had revenue of $10.3 billion and an operating profit of $908 million.</p>
<p>What’s at fault? Well, according to Canon: “<em>negative impact of economic deterioration</em>” in China and Europe. As always, the yen was blamed as well.</p>
<p>The fact that DSLR sales fell may have played a role, as well as the printer business and business-to-business numbers falling.</p>
<p>Are things going to get better in Q4? Not likely, so they may not make a billion dollars a quarter until 2013 when the EF 200-400 f/4L IS 1.4x is on the market at $10,000 a pop.</p>

<p><strong>A new Supertelephoto Zoom?

</strong>This is definitely a lens that Tamron would make. If you need length and you’re on a budget, this could be a one of a kind option if and when it comes to market.</p>
