Sounds likely but given Nikon have botched it too why bother going to the expense of doing it properly (like Leica?). Presumably the Canon software botch will work with other cameras but the Nikon hardware botch is expensive and will only ever work with the cameras the factory install it on.
There's something in the laws of physics that says that you can't regenerate information that has been lost....
Aye, sounds a bit like saying you just add more elements in a general purpose lens to correct abberrations and make it better......it's never going to be as good as not needing to correct as much in more specialised lens. (for example my 70-200 isn't as good as my 90mm even although the zoom lens is about 30(?) years younger and costs twice as much).
