You can see clearly that by projecting that graph, then the 400d will
have more than 100% of sales by Christmas, and every other maker will be
in negative figures.

Well, they all get a "bump" on debut, but the Rebel's was by far the
largest.

and almost all of it previous victims replacing their 300d and 350d
models...
Sales figures don't indicate market share in this market, just how eager the
users are to have the latest and greatest.

Actually the D50 is cheaper. Canon has just made a conscious decision to
make a poorly constructed camera to increase their revenues. Why they
aren't smart enough to built it so it's the same construction quality as
the entry level Nikon's, I'll never know. They are losing customers
because of the poor construction.

Not that Canon is alone here. The new Sony has pathetic construction.

It's cheezy, like most entry-level cameras. Saying outright that
Nikon's are constructed better may or may not be true. They "appear to
be better" but I haven't seen any real proof. Sony has had a really
bad run in some areas (batteries, sensors) and because they make so
many, it has effected dozens of other companies.

It's "affected."

Typos, spelling and grammar errors are not ordinarily pointed on NG's

Then there is no hope for improvement?

Little. IAC the point of the NG is not passing a spelling or grammar
test. Were it that, it would grind to a halt.
