Nikon, Olympus are giants in optical field, they are main supplier for low power scope and high power scopes in industrial field. ohh... not to mention, Leica also have same product (i nvr see Canon scope b4, so not sure canon have similar products or not)

Canon, Nikon, Ricoh produce photocopy machine as well (my company using Ricoh photocopier)

oh.. ya, Nikon also produce x-ray machine

since they in to imaging/optical field, they not going to produce only camera, they may involve in others field related to optical

so if someone think of, without camera, Nikon, Canon... will not survive, that's not true


be in mind their top range of line up do not target to hobbyist like us, they targeting to professional photographers, that still need the big gun for extreme condition, those camera size are big due to bigger electrical circuit board in camera, to accommodate more components/chips, that not as simple as 'SLR quality'

lol... still not end yet? everyone have their view of points when choosing camera. some satisfy with phone's camera, some prefer big gun. as said earlier that made for different purpose. phone camera is made for convenience.

for example during my Friendster time ( yes, back to that time, what is Facebook ? ) we have to transfer picture from camera to pc, then upload the picture to social network. but nowadays, phone camera allow u to instantly take picture and upload. on this case, no one will care the so called picture quality, they want to share picture, that's all.

seriously, i really no bother on my phone's camera, want better picture? use dslr la..... but for some, they dunwan to spend $$ on dslr, they will prefer phone that can produce better picture.

but why bother to compare on paper, i'm better than u? huh?
better spend time to think, how to take better picture.

for me, this topic could continue forever, jz like the favourite Canon vs Nikon, there is no ultimate answer.
