| I'm suprised that -I- got a PENTAX DSLR this year. Here in Canada, you seldom see Pentax cameras appear in fliers of stores that sell them. From the little I know about HOYA and PENTAX is that they focus on medical equipment. They don't seem to advertise their cameras.
BTW, so is Sigma's DSLR Japanese market share approx. 0%?
Slightly off-topic: If PENTAX's actual market consists of people like me, then they should not start making/marketing DSLRs for un-techie "moms" or the engadget-type sheeple: the only thing I'd change about my K200D is to increase the paltry number of dials and buttons--it's low when compared to K20D and going through the menus isn't fun. Also, I wouldn't mind a light under the LCD--it would be useful for astrophotography. |
