HUGE NEWS - Canon and Nikon Merge

13 years 1 month ago - 13 years 1 month ago #40483 by Stealthy Ninja
I was reading some online news and there's some VERY interesting news about Canon and Nikon.

Apparently the Nikon manufacturing sites were damaged too much by the earthquake/tsunami and they're projected profits are way too low.

Thing is they've been in secret talks with Canon on a possible partnership!

It seems Canon are going to be making Nikon mount cameras from now on.

Here's the articles:

Too obvious, guys. I knew it before I clicked. Although because of the quake and the tsunami, it did seem to be at least remotely possible . . . not!
