Weird, not as interesting as I thought though.
Not surprising Canon is first in cameras - they are the best selling in digital. Funny thing is, a recent customer satisfaction survey put Nikon first and Canon something like third or fourth (behind Sony and maybe one other).
While some of them may not have been interesting, I thought the Consumer Eletronics section was simply because I haven’t heard of three out of the five!
