How do you pronounce NIKON

Well, I just saw a Nikon television ad the other day. THEY were saying "Nai-kon", but were pronouncing Nikkor (as in the lenses) "Nih-kore". Of course, that was television. Nothing makes it through that thing intact.

Nai-kon...thats how it's pronounced on their TV ads and if you call live support.

In Japanese (and I think in every other language but English) it's Ne-kon (don't know how to do phonetics in English but ..)

On the west side of the Big Pond, most say Nai-kon. However, I met a UK chap who said it was Nee-kon. I dunno, maybe it's a to-may-toes/to-ma-toes kind of thing........

Scratching head... how do you pronounce Nai-kon and Nih-kore?

Where I live, we say nigh-con and nick-or

Have a look at:

Nikon was an acronym of Nippon Kogaku and in Japanese is certainly pronounced Nih-kon, as it is in almost any language I can think of. But in the US most people say Nai-kon; but, then, many people in the States also say "Ai-raq" and "Ai-ran" for Iraq and Iran, not to speak of people who say "Ai-talian" -- all of which sound equally absurd to me.

I say it the same as Paul Simon sings in the song "Kodachrome". Soon people will be asking what Kodachrome is?

I've watched the Nikon Digitutors, and they say Knee-Con(silent K like body part)
But here in southern New England, It's NI(Long I sound) Con...lol

I say Nee-kon and Nee-kor, because I live in Taiwan.
In my experience, i've only heard North Americans say Nai-kon and Nick-or.
