It depends on how tightly Canon tries to market their cameras with Milestone's VMS.
The good news is, if they push the combination, it won't be a complete disaster as Canon cameras are, at least, OK.
The bad news is that the cameras are not really in any way great, nor are they inexpensive, plus they have a very limited lineup overall. This, of course, can be rectified if they put a fraction of the investment they put into Milestone into improving their camera line.
I am still waiting for the unboxing video.
