Newspapers started buying Canon, because Canon just about gave them

everywhere you went the news photographers were using Canon. 
Especially at big events where the Canon truck was there to lend them 
that 1200mm lens they needed. Soon "everybody" else was buying Canon 
because it must be good, all those news photographers were using them 
(of course "everybody" could not tell the difference between an EOS-1 
and a Rebel). Such is marketing.

Not to mention that at the same time, there *were* all those Rebels on 
the market (and at the time they were all black) -- easy for "everybody" 
to find when they went looking for a Canon in their price range. Didn't 
the Rebels emerge around the same time as the top-end EOS-one-pluses?
