[Digital BW] Re: Will we be obsolete?

It's not likely that Epson ever "thought" it had anything "all sewed
up." :-)

Follow it back to Sekei Mamiya and WWII (Seiko, Mamiya, Epson etc): 
always a leader in photography, like Canon. In fact Mamiya's 22MP SLR
is about to change the landscape for everybody.

I happen to shoot Canon F1s ... just today I bought a Canon P...I do 
respect Canon, but Epson's got a decade's lead in printers, a huge
installed base of ancient machines that do beautiful work two
generations later (eg 1280)...somehow I doubt the new models are the
last we'll hear from them...
