Yes and even then there's brand recognition in a specific market. I know trhat e.g. Pentax sells (or sold?) scanner at least in the US. I dunno anything about Pentax and scanners so I'd probably not even look at those.
Same goes for Sony: nearly all my Hi-fi equipment is Sony (10-15 years old now). But buying DSLR with Sony on it is a different matter: Sony has a track record of being interested only by itself, but neither do standards (think memory cards) or consumer take part in their minds. Well this is my perception of course. I didn't like Minolta, now Sony I have even less reason to look at them. Sony is Sony, they will try in a couple months/years to switch to less standard products. ---------------------- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
