Canon, Sony, no SLR

Today, Canon as well as Sony did announce several new products for this beginning of a recession year (plenty of point-and-shoot cameras). Of course, this is the preparation of the next PMA fair in Las Vegas. But SLR enthusiasts will stay waiting for more. No new SLR body. Only Tilt-Shift lenses in Full Frame ability at Canon. The frontline of reasonably-priced SLR cameras is very quiet.

Simultaneously, those who were hoping a revolutionary new large-format photo announcement from Nikon in WPPI failed to hear anything.
