This helps retailers, but consumers often show up expecting all the items in the ad to be at the store when there are usually a bunch not carried by the store. The retailer then often convinces the customer to buy something more expensive. ============= I buy that. I'd like to see Pentax in more stores.
Canon appears to care less about quality than advertising and sales volume when it comes to consumer cameras. Their pro stuff may be great, but their consumer stuff is often of lesser quality than that of Pentax, Nikon and others. ============== Not so sure about that, but I do think the K100D is a lot of bang for the buck. Which is why I got it. Trouble now is, the lenses. Not enough new ones out yet and hard to find when they are out. John (experienced these things first-hand) ============== There's no doubt Canon is one smart company, just saying their cameras don't exactly hover. Frankly, as long as a camera does what I want, I don't need all the bells and whistles, I am more interested in lenses. To me, that seems more determinant of a resulting good picture or not. And I really don't care much about brands, per se. In any venue. Just agreeing with Ann in liking the 300D. It's not that weird to like it. :-) I also root for Pentax because of Pentaxian friends on list who have big investments and I want them to be comfortable and happy.
