Nikon pronunciation
I was talking (or trying) to a Japanese chap last week who was using a D2x and a huge 500mm f2.8. I was interested in how he was able to handhold his mighty lens. Unfortunately he knew the exact amount of English as I know Japanese! We pointed and smiled for a few seconds and then he pointed to my camera and said 'Knee-kon' I assume this is the correct pronunciation of Nikon. On my travels to the United States I have been corrected to 'Nigh-Kon' as I pronounce Nikon as 'Nick-on'
