From: Rich on 6 Feb 2010 01:16 And no new DSLR's. 65 is how many cruddy P&S cameras were introduced in the last three weeks by the manufacturers. Why? What is the point, to wallpaper Walmart and Best Buy shelves? Is this like grocery stores where camera companies have to pay to get preferential positioning on shelves? Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if nearly all of these cameras come out of the same 2-3 factories in China.
