Things are heading the right way; if they would just make a ******* camera as good as their lenses, that percentage would skyrocket. And it has been the same since the 80's, unfortunately.
Let's hope things are about to change. They almost did it with the K1D in 2001, were about to take a BIG lead in the DSLR field, but the sensor maker screwed up bigtime. That put them about 5 years behind the eight ball. Fortunately, they survived.
That same disasterous sensor killed Contax. Pentax were at least wise enough to bail.
Good things coming up, let's trust in the force, the exhalted Benmeister!
Where is he, anyway? Shooting more nudey shots? Come on, Ben, we need to talk to you!
Cheers,
