That's a generalization perhaps painted with a broad brush. For example - try getting repairs on a Hyundai in some areas of the country, whereas Toyota and Honda are pretty much ubiquitous. Can you get parts as easily? Will the Hyundai be as durable (my Camry has 275,000 miles on it and has held up better than my Mercedes at far less cost). These are just talking points. Sometimes there is more to a car (or a camera) than it being able to do the job.
FWIW, I don't consider a Hyundai comparable to a Toyota or a Honda, although I do consider Pentax and canon to be closer to one another in some respects. I'm not saying the Pentax can't do the job, but for Tom there are factors about Pentax ownership that may not work for him in the long run. Frankly, if I were buying new gear today, I don't know what I'd buy ... well, yes I do, but that's from another company that's not faring well in the marketplace ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: frank theriault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 5/2/2005 7:17:16 PM > Subject: Re: Why and How I switched to Canon (for those who care) long > > On 5/2/05, Tom C <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > <snip> > > > I view Pentax as the Hyundai of the camera market.
