They are not and never have been "a nikon or canon or panasonic or ???" Have they remained behind in auto-focus and digital development? Yes. Do I care? No. Have they remained at state-of-the art in optical and mechanical quality? Yes. Do I care? Yes. If I want auto-focus and other bells and whistles I have literally hundreds of choices.
