If the camera doesn't get peoples attention in the first place then they will not find out about its ergonomics.
Ok, then, how does Canon or Nikon get attention for their boring, "me too" products? They advertise. They have really bad TV commercials showing some dope in the stands at a football game getting gorgeous shots with the kit lens on the RebelD. Pentax doesn't advertise their DSLR lineup at all in the US. I've only seen print and TV adds for the Optios. Even if Pentax were to design a DSLR with flair or funky looks, no one would see it because it's like they are keeping a secret by not advertising. Christian
