Gee, will there ever be a Nikon D4? Might there possibly be a Canon
50D? What a stretch for someone in those companys to admit to
something like that. And of course, since there will be a D4, there's
absolutely no point in buying a D3 when it becomes available in
December.
Maybe there'll be a Toyota Camry in 2012 that will be better than the
current one. Maybe if a Toyota spokesman admitted as much sales of
the current model might drop to zero.
Actually, I hope to have a nice Labour Day weekend here as well. Same
day, only spelled differently. :-)
