K-3 best DSLR of 2013 on DPR poll !

JimmyDranox · 01-01-2014, 03:54 AM

The vote is not finished.

But few conclusions can be drawn. Not only for Ricoh, but also for Tamron and Sigma, who tend to neglect Pentax lately. More so, that this poll is on a traditional Nikon territory.

Now, the statistics.

1. Brand of choice: Percent of votes vs percent of owners (have, had, wish)

Canon: 21.2% - 34.7%

Nikon: 42.2% - 41.4%

Pentax: 32.7% - 23.8%

Sony: 4.0% - 2.8%

Finally, I want to quote one of the comments from this DPR poll.

"Is probably just the fact that K3 was the only one bringing some serious technology innovation among a bunch of almost just cosmetic upgrades.
I don't think the result is due to any fanboy conspiracy and I would just like to see an actual review of this camera other than the comments who seem to know already everything about this camera.
Please review this camera before 2015... people here have great expectations."

Meantime, new votes had been cast, so is a small difference in numbers.

With 31% of the votes. The EOS 70D was the runner-up.

Reminds me of How Time's Person of the year public contest was hijacked a few years ago...
