Thanks Blue and Adam. Didn't expect anything to happen that quickly. Stopped back in and noticed the change.

Best to all,
Kevin

I wish we could update this as we buy (and sell) cameras.

That's why I decided to close the digital body poll since the K-x hit the streets. I'm going to put a new version up ~ August 2010 and compare the 2.

Hmmmm - running series of polls - could we gather any even inferred information from trends? I know, not scientific, but still interesting.

It could be graphed. It could show turn over of dSLR models for example if graphed against release dates for example. As far as the film bodies go, it could show trends and stability of people collecting Pentax bodies.

Quite a complete list of camera bodies. I never knew most of them even existed.

Looks like I'm the only one -so far - who uses a Spotmatic IIA (admittedly a fairly obscure variant).

I also inherited an MX body but I never got used to it.

Unfortunately we can't be sure the same people would participate every time - it was a thought, but perhaps not a good one

Looking forward to the 2010 poll....my count has changed quite a bit....

It would be random. As long as we got a similar number of people participating it would be o.k. ~ 350 is pretty good.

I'll give a heads up to the people that I know are interested or participated in this years poll.
