Yup.  For most if not all of their markets, Canon/Nikon quality is
sufficient.  Fashion?  For print ads that run in newspapers or magazines,
super high quality is not required.  It may justify Pro rates for income,
but not the print jobs themselves......  Perception not need.

Hasselblad>  They are doing well, selling lots to Pros?  Is there industry
data to establish that claim?  

I would ask for the % of Hasselblad digital cameras purchased by pros  vs
the % purchased by well heeled amateurs.

Me?   Retired Electronics Marketing.  Not a Pro Photog.  Never claimed to be
one.

Frank are you trying to suggest that pros can't benefit from superb image 
quality?  There's no budget for premium equipment and results for high end 
projects?
