Whenever I see a corporation making press releases using the formula: "[corp name], a leader in [technology type]" I think of Caldera, subsequently renamed to "The SCO Group Inc". It was not a leader, except in how to go out of business through law suits and chapter 11 fees. So sorry I just don't believe those lines.
I like Canon products, just don't respect that sort of press release.

...I like Canon products, just don't respect that sort of press release.

Would you rather do business with a company that is not ranked among the best brands?

Canon didn't make this up. A third party conducted the survey and compiled the list. Nothing wrong with Canon letting people know about it.

I'd rather do business with a reputable company. "The SCO Group" was not a reputable company. Any corporation making unsubstantiated claims about its leadership in a given industry - especially when there is evidence to the contrary - is just making it difficult for people to believe anything else that corporation might publish.
I'm not saying this is the case with Canon. I'm just reacting to the "...a leader in..." propaganda.
