>>261910 I think the only reasonable cases for who "owned Photokina" can be made for Leica or Panasonic. I would list Olympus, but their u4/3 thing is just a prototype.
The 5D Mk. III is just a 5D with more megapixels, sensitivity, and video. Nothing earth-shattering about it. The S2 and G1, on the other hand, create entire new classes of camera: the field-capable medium format DSLR and the not-small-format EVF. Also a 21/1.4 is a big feather in Leica's cap, if it and the S2 were actually affordable, those plus their other minor new things (M8.2, 24/1.4, 50/.95, and the Pradovit projector) would mean Leica definitely owned Photokina.
Ah, fuck it, Leica curb-stomped Photokina and Panasonic got a few kicks in. Olympus watched from the side. Everyone else just scurried past along the same route they had been going before.
Although, we all should keep in mind Photokina isn't over until the 28th.
