Just picked up a random selection of 5 French mags, 1 Nikon, 1 Samsung, 1 Sony and two Sigma ads on the backs.
I'm sure that the Cankon bias is very much a UK/US phenomenon, although these are, of course, very much the markets to be seen in.
It's a shame that Nikon have to go the third party route and get their sensors made by Sony, don't you think?
