[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 633041, member: 14629"] I wouldn't label it greed. Afterall, all profit motive is a type of greed, but some is healthy and some not so.... It's a similar analogy to what's going with Brick & Mortar retail vs internet sales. It's a new way of thinking and many businesses types can't get past their hard wired way of doing things. I think figuring out what technologies to include in a package (say a DSLR) and what to charge for those technologies (which at a manufacturing level costs pennies) is the big struggle. Canon is having the same problem, and that is coping with a juggernaut like Sony who is not afraid to throw in everything, including the kitchen sink, in order to grab market share. And they're better at reading certain segments of their consumer wants/needs. If Apple taught us anything, we don't always know what our wants/needs are until a visionary like Steve Jobs comes along and shows us. It's a visionary approach, and frankly I don't think Nikon and Canon exe's have visionary DNA, may not be able to lessen their grip on the old school practices of packaging and marketing technology.
