I tend to look at these reports and say ... So what. Most of the expectations are driven by analysts who hype or overexpect.
There was another report yesterday that oil prices were down due to the recent agreement with Iran that they would fall in line with Western expectations for their nuclear program. This has NOTHING to do with oil. Yes there may be more sanctions on Iran if there had been no agreement but the agreement is not yet in force so how can this effect oil prices as there has been no change in oil supply!!! Over-egged response to current events. This is not cause and effect but rumour and bluster.
The analysts may be worthless, but the decrease in stock value weakens the company. They have less access to borrowing and become more susceptible to a take-over...imagine the disaster if Casio or Samsung were to buy Nikon!!!
Very true Tom. Not sure what the solution is but Nikon doesn't seem to listen to the customer very well or not as well as Fuji does. How long has this group been screaming for a D400? I live in Williamsburg, Va and it is a tourist haven. When I wonder down to the historic area, I always look at what folks are using to take photos. Phone cameras and P&S are the majority. Very very few entry level DSLR's and a few die hard folks with pro level gear. In the summer, I see most of the folks dragging around the pro level gear sitting on benches in the 94 degree heat with 98 percent humidity.
But then again, I am just looking at this from what I see in the US.
