Poll: Pentax Digital Bodies

*Blue* · 09-05-2009, 12:55 PM

Which Pentax dSLRs do you own. If you own more than one model (i.e. 2 k20d), the poll will allow only 1 vote. This is to compliment the film body poll Buffy has going in the Pentax Film SLR Forum.

Edit: Buffy's film body poll: Body count poll

Extra Bodies Tally:

*ist DS- 1

first vote? yay for me I guess. will be interesting to see a final result for all these polls we have been having lately. would be neat to get a general idea of where the forum stands on equipment usage.

This was the logic I was using. With Adam's, Buffy's and this one, it will give an interesting look at usage.

Mine's in - but only the ones I own now, so haven't included all those I did in the past...

I haven't even voted or checked the votes yet, but I bet the most bought is the K10D. C'mon. If Pentax didn't release that then Pentax wouldn't even be here today.

645D? I don't think there are too many around yet. And if you're planning to keep this poll going long enough for somebody to have one, I don't think it's possible to change the vote afterwards.

doesn't mean it shouldn't be included.

A little tongue-in-cheek never hurt a Poll, anyway

Well, sorry for lacking the sense of humor, but we are destined to get votes for that and one may start wondering if the whole result is reliable.

But it's nice to see how many are around already.

(Actually, who knows, there might be some testers with prototypes...)

*Blue* · 09-05-2009, 04:06 PM

I wondered how long it would take for someone to zero in on the 645D. The thing is, I didn't wan't a 13 item Poll.

Also, other didn't seem appropriate. I thought about Proto-type but only a collector would likely have any of those. The 645D is supposedly only sold or going to be sold in Japan. We have several members on here from Japan and thought maybe Mike Cash may find one on the side of the road or something.

Regardless, the 645d isn't going to effect the poll negatively unless someone votes that the have one and don't. The % reflects the % of people that voted that have that specific body.

That's the way it should be. That way the current owners won't count it again.

I actually own & use 2 *ist DS bodies (one with a dedicated M42 mount), but could only include one.

*séamuis* · 09-05-2009, 04:18 PM

im surprised at the number of istD users thus far.

*emr* · 09-05-2009, 04:21 PM

How do I vote for MZ-D?

I'll try to make a running total. The Poll system has no mechanism for multiple bodies. That is especially problematic in the film dslr poll.

I want to see a picture with today's news paper.

How many of those protoypes were built? I was very close to putting in the 2 digital prototypes in slot 14.
