They replaced a 70 year old with a 76 year old.

A 65 year old qualifies as new blood in the Canon executive level.

So where's the fast sinking? All I see is they made a profit, just less than expected in the last 2 years. Nice thread title btw, dpreview forums overwhelmed atm?

What's with the "URGENT!!!!" ? I think there is no need to yell and scream here. .

So they missed their forecasted earnings. So did a lot of companies the last few years. Interesting read though. Thanks for posting

Firing the President of a massive company like Canon is BIG news. They do not make moves that drastic unless things are really at the nightmare stage.

I think your thread title is a tad melodramatic. Canon, in relative terms is doing ok.

Now take a look at Panasonic. They are projecting a record 10 billion loss! (Then there's the whole Olympus meltdown).

profit not increasing as much as they thought it would is not a nightmare stage. It's not sinking either. It's going to be ok, calm down.

If you say so... They still managed to increase profits since last year, despite being almost wiped out by tsunami, and their exports selling for 25% less due to currency valuation. In the meantime, others have lost a few hundred trillions in the same period, and still marching ahead with the same President

About time .. Canon is in trouble, big time.

For example today while Nikon announces two new prosumer full frame bodies that actually focus, Canon offers us a (supposedly) upgraded 24-70 at an almost double price point and still no prosumer full frame body that can properly focus. Thanks, but no thanks.

Thanks for disregarding the lens and body announcements for the past few months...

He's stepping down because someone is very mad that the 24-70mm II doesn't have IS.

Canon is, however, putting some clamps on the dslr video market. I question that strategy, but if you are in to video, Canon offers a whole lot more than Nikon...

Well, you are going to laugh. I finally said to the hell with it a couple of hours ago, packed up my thrice to CPS UU 100-400L, went to my favorite pro shop and traded it in for a brand new UZ 100-400L, sharp as a tack.

Now you can be certain a 100-400L IS Mark II will be announced very shortly.

Say thanks...

If you're talking about the 1Dx, that's a joke. $6,800 for a 1d replacement?

It's 2012, not 2002. Someone should tell Canon...

Maybe the new high pricing is what he has shaken things up.
