At the recent press conference for EOS 1D Mark III, Canon proudly displayed a banner "27 Million EOS Series camera and 30 million EOS lenses to date". At the first glance, an excellent achievement, right? But what does this tell you? This means, in a simple average term, it is a 1.2 lenses per camera. Well, we all know that there are many pros and EOS enthusiasts who own multiple lenses. So, guys in Japan concluded that the rest of the people are those who buy DigiRebel with a kit lens but never bother to buy another lens (or two :-). Hmmm, Pentax were really right that they squeezed as much dollars as possible from those people by keeping offering entry level DSLR before moving to a notch upper level.
