Stupid ??? 10,000,000 Canon made lenses in last 18 months, 20 Million Canon made lenses made in last 48 months. Lens sales are bread and butter of camera industry. Rebels drive lens sales. Canon T2i is a HD Dslr entry level homerun. If it were pentax we'd be singing its praises, right ???
Did you see this???
Canon has announced the production of its 50 millionth EF lens. The specific lens was one of the newly released EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USMs. EF mount lens production started in 1987. In September 2009, Nikon announced the 50 millionth lens for its F mount, launched in 1959.
Canon tells us: 'EF lens production started in March 1987. In Aug. 1995, we reached 10 million units. In Feb. 2001, 20 million in Jan. 2006, 30 million, and in Apr. 2008, 40 million. And after only 1 years and 8 months, we reached 50 million.'
Originally posted by GeneralBenson I really think that Canon drives the low end market too hard. It's just getting stupid. Camera technology is gneral is just getting stupid. And I'm saying this regardless of brand, and not because I'm butt-hurt that Canikon has some features that we don't. If camera technology never made another move, I wouldn't care. I think it's great where it is.
