You're jumping to an unwarranted conclusion. If you read the fine print
on the full survey you'll find that Konica/Minmolta and Pentax are noted
as being in the over $600 category, but are not shown because of the low
sample size. It doesn't say they are below those shown, just that there
were not enough responses to be able to come up with an accurate rating.
No sir, you are splicing two paragraphs together as if they were one. It is
you who are jumping to a mistaken conclusion. ;-)
I interjected that single-sentence-paragraph (question) about where Pentax
and some other makers were in the over $600 category, but then I started a
new paragraph with an entirely different point to make.
In the second paragraph, I am no longer referring to the over $600
category, but to that price category in which Pentax does appear. In that
category, Pentax was indeed ranked below those other brands.
Maybe I should have inserted some "traffic signs" into my text, to prevent
any confusion. I thought the starting of a new paragraph would be enough to
separate the two thoughts, but perhaps I was wrong?
take care,
Glen
