Can we just jettison him out of the airlock? I'll even pay for his expenses.
I'm surprised Nikon hasn't used it to their advantage yet- our cameras are so advanced, we even take it out into space!
Lets see your Canon do that!

It's good that Nikon is working in the space w/o any problems - it only means, that the build quality is great.

And it's a good think that NASA's not pissed at Nikon enough to switch, ever since the whole D2XS order thing way back in 2007.
Then again, they might not have much of a choice.
I say we jettison Kutcher into the Canon HQ!

I bet it would cost more if they moved away from Nikon- they'd need to buy lenses again!
