Canikon MUST switch to EVFs

No, what it tells us is that the type of viewfinder is a low priority for most users, or that there are other variables that supersede the type of viewfinder in importance. For instance, that Canikon has been established in the market for decades and has eminently greater brand power in the digital camera industry than the other brands.

Three years ago Canikon had a virtual duopoly on interchangeable lens cameras. That's clearly no longer the case as there are several viable alternatives that offer products that are trending upward at a far greater pace than any of Canikon's products. We've literally gone from absolutely nothing to the point where EVFs are in many cases superior to OVFs. It doesn't take a fortune teller to see the direction this is going and for that reason it's clear that Canikon can't afford to sit on its population of baby boomer OVF-lovers from the film SLR days who are propping up its soon-to-be outdated technology.

What you seem to be suggesting is that canikon should wait until they have trouble selling DSLRs before they start making changes. Well by then it's going to be much too late, they need to be proactive and start ramping their R&D now if they haven't already, or else they'll get left in the dust.
