I can't help drawing the comparison to Pentax and Apple's Macintosh computer. Mac has the low market share, Pentax has the low market share. Mac users sometimes fret about availability of software, Pentax users sometimes fret about availability of lenses, third-party flash units with all the whistles and bells (e.g. high speed synch on something besides the 360). Windows proponents brag about higher clock speeds of x86 chips, Canon proponents brag about IS and USM. An arguing point among Mac users is the user interface, an arguing point among Pentax proponents is the user interface. Windows users come to Mac groups trying to convince the remaining 3% of the computing population to switch to Windows, Bruce Rubenstein comes to the PDML and tries to convince Pentax users to switch to Canon.
