Imaging Resource Publisher Dave Etchells and Senior Editor Shawn Barnett interviewed David Lee, Senior Vice President of Nikon Inc., and Steve Heiner, Senior Technical Manager, Nikon Inc. at PMA 2010. Read the interview to find out whether Nikon's interested in the mirrorless-interchangeable-lens market, how the Aston Kutcher campaign has done for the company, and why Nikkor optical quality has taken a quantum leap in the last few years.

Dave Etchells, Imaging Resource:
I guess we'll start out with a little bit of technology. So, thank goodness the megapixel race is I think finally over.
