Besides, I don't really mind if K-7 sells as much as the Rebel series - I don't think Hoya minds either
at double the price?
this is exactly the problem when you try and base sales on intangibles such as 'soul', heritage, and 'feel'. the mass majority/general public (who look for camera info at engadget) base their decisions on these kind of surface comparisons and numerical spec crunching.
that's why the K-7 needs a
unique new feature for the masses to easily grasp
why a Rebel is not in the same league. ironically, size-wise, a K-7 and the Rebel ARE comparable. and WR alone is not enough, otherwise the K20 and K200 would've sold a lot better than they did.
