SLR's are still predicted to increase, so the sales must be going to
someone.

So they must have slowed production as there is still a 9 - 12 week wait
for the 5d in Australia

had an impact, because;
a. FF cameras are a small market segment for both Canon and Nikon, their
best selling dSLR are XSi, XS and D40, D60.
b. The 5D only trickled in at the end of Q4, too small numbers and too late
to really dent the bottom line.
However with the business climate being shaky, many companies aren't buying
new office equipment. CitiBank even cancelled their purchase of a new Falcon
bizjet.

No, but consider the line and lure.
Six fishies so far.

The answer is obvious. Obama needs to bail out Canon! Write an
executive order that requires camera stores to sell just as many
Canons as Nikons in the spirit of fairness.

Surprised the Japanese don't do what the Chinese have done for the last 20
years. Artificially devalue their currency.

Reckless socialism comes to the photography world!! Plus, could they
also force Canon and Nikon sellers to implement strong anti-global
warming measures, that no one can afford? One fraud should follow on
another.

Probably because they have gotten used to a higher standard of living than
most Chinese.

Perhaps Canon should stick to making affordable point and shoots, the only
thing it does well.
