You claimed 90% originally, not "closer to 90% than 10%". I dont think its anywhere near 90%, I bet the first thing many people do is get rid of the kit lens or buy another that will do what the kit wont because the kit lenses are limited capability and buying SLR/DSLRS is about capabilities. I have a pet peeve about when people always claim "somebody else" or "90% of the people" does this or that, when they don't. jco

I think that a large fraction of people who buy DSLRs never buy another lens. I pulled the percentage out of the air, but I'll bet it's closer to 90% than it is to 10%. Remember... many people buy a DSLR because they've been told it's the best they can buy. They happily put it on "Smiley" mode and point-n-shoot. Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean people don't do it. -Cory -- ************************************************************************ * * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************ * -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
