And no new DSLR's. 65 is how many cruddy P&S cameras were introduced in
the last three weeks by the manufacturers. Why? What is the point, to
wallpaper Walmart and Best Buy shelves? Is this like grocery stores where
camera companies have to pay to get preferential positioning on shelves?
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if nearly all of these cameras come out
of the same 2-3 factories in China.

Not at all. Which begs the question, why produce products that add no
profit?

Ouch. You are using - misusing - "begs the question" to mean "raises

Pre PMA Show, Canon announced the T2i an 18mp Digital Rebel today... Or the
Video Rebel mk.II. More than enough plastic in it to get Rich all frothed
up!

PMA starts in just under 2 weeks!

I understand that Anderson Technologies will announce the Andershot A-1, a
DSLR made entirely of depleted uranium. The word on the sidewalk is that
that's why Canon announced early.

I'm not sure the depletion is all in the uranium ...

That's not metal! A camera made out of someone's bone head might as well be
PLASTIC.

Before plastic, people used tortoise shell, horns and bone for things
like hair combs.

Metal was used for hair combs as well - and still is. As a conductor it
doesn't induce static electricity when you comb your hair with a metal
comb. That's why hairdressers use metal combs.
