Focus group constituents tend to look at what they need this year and next, while, because of the long idea gestation and development cycles, Vendors have to look out a number of years ahead, gauge what the market will require a number of years down the road and empasize that target in their R&D. I think of focus groups as providing input into establishing sustaining development priorities.

Now before every one get's their ass in a knot think about the totally out of control topics that scream through here sometime. Then imagine yourself a high ranking person in Solms or NJ reading them.......... Then ask yourself this question........

"wild ripping at each other, cars, scotch and so many other totally off topic items of absolutely no relevance to photography, let alone leica."
