WRONG- I just disagreed with the absurd IMHO "90% of DSLR buyers will never buy anything more than the original kit lens" comments and the even more absurd arguments to support it as being the truth.
NOTE: When I use the word argument, I mean it in the legal sense, a calm logical discussion of proof, not like a fight. And what was going on a in the past is not what's going on today. DSLR buyers are not like SLR buyers of yesteryear. They are more advanced photo enthusiasts than the SLR buyers of the 70's ever were. BACK THEN there was no such thing as a P&S market like there is today and the P&S market dominates even after the switch from P&S film to P&S digital. I simply do not agree with the numbers or with the arguments presented to support the numbers. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 5:31 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Luminous Landscape: Reichmann tries out a K10D ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

Its not an arguement, it's a discussion. Where I am, there is only one brick and mortar vendor. Before the internet, I sold cameras for a living, what Melinda told me today matches what i recall from my selling days. John, you are trying to make an argument where non exists, using wild guess work and presumptions to support an untenable position against people who have first hand knowledge about what they are talking about.
