The Japanese say Nee-con (and your 'Nick-on' is close enough). So that is what is is.I pronounce it 'Nick-on', but Americans seem to say 'Nike-on'. Not sure about the rest of the World though. :shrug:
Nike-on
I used to always say Nike-on until i found it was an american pronunciation so trained myself to say Nick-on.
On this one occasion i think the americans have it right - there's no 'C' god dammit!
It's a Japanese company - they say Nee-kon. We're pretty close. Americans are dumb
pronounced... dark-side surely???
God damn Amerikans, with their zees and their dropping of Us - they can't even spell colour properlyI used to always say Nike-on until i found it was an american pronunciation so trained myself to say Nick-on.
On this one occasion i think the americans have it right - there's no 'C' god dammit!
neither is there an 'E' ..... so its our language we English are right .....
Ny-kon...
Nick-on makes no sense, as above, wheres the "c" in Nikon?
i don't bother worrying, I just say CANON and have it over with...
actually, I read somewhere that canon used to be pronounced "kwa-non" in japan. dunno if its true though!

and I remember a foreign customer (couldn't be sure where he came from) asking for a 'Cay-non' rather than Canon.
Tsk tsk! These foreigners, everyone knows Canon is pronounced 'Bro-ken' as in Oh 'no not again!'
