[goodguy]

Here is a rather weird yet interesting to talk about rumor

I would say it is absurd but that is the way rumors often go.

A Peeb-infused Nikon would be, pretty much, Chuck Norris with a laser-rifle riding a T-Rex into an exploding supernova.

Sony is going to buy Nikon and have a lot of new Cameras to there line up and there all new two lenses to choose from.

Looks like this is all based on a mis-translated comment from a former Nikon sponsored professional, according to Thom Hogan's Nov. 4, 2016 column about this silly 'rumor'....according to him, it is not even a rumor, but merely stupid, baseless speculation.

I heard Coke was buying Pepsi.


Or was it Ford was buying Chevy?

I can imagine SONY to be willing to pay for the

1. production facilities
2. engineers
3. brand name
4. what's left of a service network

I had extremely incompetent handling (3 replacements) of a still poor performing SONY Blu-ray player. SONY is not what they used to be.

well SONY has
recently sold off portions of it's battery business
selling/sold it's creative audio/video editing sofware programs
sold off the VAIO laptop division
sold off the online gaming division

but it's sensor, camera and playstation division remain healthy.
Apparently Sony is also very successful at selling Insurance.

I miss my Sony Trinitron TVs.

 

[Drive-By-Shooter]

LOL - we have a small one in the kitchen that's 27 years old.

LOL - we have a small one in the kitchen that's 25 years old.

I miss my Sony Trinitron TVs.

I still have a 13" stereo, multipicture tv I bought in 1989.
I miss my 32" one from back then - removeable stereo speakers, picture in picture.
I had SONY ES line of VCR, stereo back then. I still have a "newer" ES stereo amp/receiver. The earlier ES ones had nice wood panels on each side. It's hooked up to speakers with a 15 inch bass, and 2 other midranges. Then a higher one going up to ceramic tweeter. ahh ... power. The bass makes your feet go numb.

I wonder why they stopped doing picture in picture
I have an early walkman headset too somewhere.
