Maybe this is nitpicking, but all capitalism is regulated more or less by their home countries and by international law. Copyright law for instance and other restrictions. Companies that want to merge in the same marketplace are sometimes prevented from doing so by their own governments because it might form a monopoly. The term "free" capitalism is a myth.

The K-5 was crippeld in comparisson to the Nex 5n due to the K-5's super thick AA filter. I guess that means that Sony really DOES know how to make best use of their own sensors.
Are you sure about that? I own both cameras and frankly always considered the K5 the better camera. One thing is that the K5's have 14 bit file depth and the 5n is only 12 bit files. Not arguing with you, but i've never read that before.
