Once Canon starts losing significant sales to competition, they'll start worrying about it.

For years Nikon's high speed sports camera was the D2h which was noisier than Canon's original D30, even at ISO 400. When I run marathons, most of the photographers on the route are still using this terrible camera (and the slightly better D2hs) and making money with it selling us painfully noisy images that are barely usable for postcards. Apparently being behind the competition for years isn't that big of a deal in this industry.

It is for users of things like bridge cams, who are standing in line to buy a new one every six months to get that 'dslr-like image quality' they're not gonna get. (And they'll spend $1200 a year buying new bridge or point/shoots because dslr's are so expensive, go figure.)

For dslr users there is more of an investment and more of a rationale behind what we own and use, and we're not racing to switch brands. Would a different camera or brand possibly improve on what I have now? Almost certainly. Am I looking to change? Nope. Canon has been in business many years, and I think they've got a handle on the concept of 'competition'.
