Nikon responds- "rapid deterioration in the market occurred and fiercer competition"

I find it quite amazing the sheer amount of time and energy the febrile cadre of Gollumesque complainers devote to the same utterly repetitive bitching and moaning.  Over and over and over again, thread after thread, the regulars spin out post after post of the exact same thin stuff:  Why won't Nikon build a camera just for me that shoots so fast I could hire a homeless person and show him or her the AF On button and get major league results for less than one third the price of the one they already make?  Why can't I focus, even though I have the best focusing camera ever made?  Why won't Nikon's board of directors take some real direction from an anonymous blogger such as myself?  Get some new material.  Become more entertaining at least.  Some of you full timers are copying and pasting your own output at this point.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
