Although I don't doubt the toughness of KX (it's based on spotmatic after all!), I seriously doubt the survey's methodology. If not knowing numbers which they wouldn't know (number of total cameras in use of that particular type compared to defect ones), it's meaningless. Or did they use different methodology? Please dig out the article, so we can be sure :)
