I do believe, however, that the Minolta user base is more like Canon's as Minolta 
since their mount change in '85 has maitained a high-tech approach appealing to the 
feature counters. I do feel that Pentax is in a somewhat different boat, more like 
Nikon perhaps in some respects, in as much at they may sell a niche camera to a 
certain market segment of many years.
