Re: J.D. Powers Report: Pentax Crowned Best In DSLR Online Buyer Satisfaction
Nobody seems to have a killer mirrorless system. They're all compromises, just like DSLRs. Now that the bloom is off the rose, even the retro designed OM-D is garnering it's share of brickbats. I read the user comments and came away with the impression that most fans of any system know nothing of any other system. Let's see. Since this is done by a survey of buyers, want to bet that none of those answering that Canon had the best image quality had ever actually seen Nikon or Pentax image quality, or more importantly tried to process a file from any camera but their own into something printable? How about those if those buyers touting Pentax's great ergonomics had ever even held a Canon or Nikon? If you really have nothing to compare what you've bought to, how do you know it's the best.

(Or, for that matter, one that includes Panasonic as a DSLR vendor). The most significant item, in my opinion, is the fact that the average price paid for DSLRs is $1300. That suggests to me that DSLRs aren't selling to the low end of the market any more (which isn't really a surprise) - the mirrorless systems are presumably taking over there. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
