CORP.

The system will retail for
the remarkable price of US $1,999.00
without the requirement to purchase additional accessories as all system
functions are built-in, thanks to the new NIKCANON Imaging Chip (NIC) which is
no larger than the head of a pin. Lots of
trees in 3rd World countries have been felled in order to produce
this new technology, but such is life.
With its spectacular 16,000
ppi capabilities and completely wireless interface, the NIKCANON 22c eliminates all but the
most basic user parameters and turns every user, regardless of age or
proclivity, into a bona fide pixel professional.
Indeed, with
this innovative system we now have the technology at our fingertips to mirror,
make, remake, manage and completely
manipulate the world around us in startling ways. No longer are we bound to
arcane distinctions between what is real and what isn’t – WYSIWYG is suddenly
replaced by WYWIWYS (What You Want Is What You See). This is most amazing!
Exactly what
functions come packaged with the NIKCANON
22c ? Here is a partial list from the NIKCANON CORP Technical Support
Team:
01-an automated
DNA-based Owner-ID Recognition (OIDR) ON/OFF switch
02-an automated

09- variable
(10-50 gigabyte) chip-based (NIC) memory storage capabilities, eliminating the
need for external memory cards
10-an automated
self-cleaning/repair function
11-built-in

12-a user-based
retinal remote control center for wireless operation up to one mile

As if that were
not enough! Pixel professionals everywhere will be thrilled with the
capabilities of this space-age system even without
the NIKCANON 22c’s non-removable,
lightweight, fixed-aperture f/1.4 14-400mm SLR zoom. It is enough to loose
sleep over.
The only
downside, according to NIKCANON CORP, is that the system weighs in at a hefty
55 lbs.
The line forms
