Nikon is a global scientific instrument company, the camera division makes up about 12-18% of their overall sales.
About 8 years ago Nikon realized their camera division was falling behind so they upped their R&R and their young engineer hires are starting to make inroads in their camera division.
But without Canon, Sony, and many others we would not have the competition we need to force companies to constantly improve their products.
I salute them all.
Nikon's dark-field microscopes are excellent. I used them back in 1990 looking at the bug that causes Lyme's disease.
