AP, Getty, Reuters, etc. all shoot Canon. Most of the PJs I work around either have Canon or want Canon. The thing about PJs is they don't have a lot of money...either personally or in their working budgets. Nikon has a great foothold of existing users, many of which don't want to take the hit on the switch...not because they like the quality of the imagers.
shouldn't you be doing someones quarterly BAS? Get to it lad!
Yes, it's a real long-term problem.
What other choices do they have? I hear people say, "Nikon can go anywhere for their sensors"... but to whom would they go? Other companies may offer sensors, but not many companies are geared towards providing the quantities of sensors that Nikon might need, and that Sony has been providing. Not many companies may offer the economy of mass that Sony offers, too. Lower efficiencies and lower economies would mean higher sensor costs. What other sensor-producing company, besides Canon and Sony, have a track record of successfully providing high volumes of sensors to DSLR cameras? It's not enough for another company to simply step forward and say, "We can make DSLR sensors, too!" You also have to consider that company's experience, track record, capacity, and capability to keep up with demand. Because a company like Nikon (or any DSLR manufacturer, for that matter) has a lot riding on the reliable supply of sensors. No sensors means no cameras. A shortage of sensors means a shortage of cameras.

Very nice drawing. I'd like to get the same results, so could you please give me more specs?:Canned air is cool... especially when you happen to have an open
flame handy, hmm wonder if that would just burn the dust right
off?

I first thought of the viewfinder. But after putting deep thought into it, I prefer the LCD. You normally print a photo after you review it in the LCD. Why would you go back to the viewfind, where you can't see the photo that you're going to print? Aren't you normal?Na... ...warnings should be in the viewfinder, otherwise, you might...empty paper tray warning in the LCD.

There are also technical reasons: since Canon doesn't display ISO
in the viewfinder (I mean, who needs that anyway...), there is more
space for ink/paper warnings in the viewfinder than on the LCD...
...not.
Why not what about carrot cakes...
