Re: New Digital Camera - Recommendations?


In today's world, I'd hardly call any statement on a camera manufacturer's viability "unfounded nonsense". The landscape is rapidly changing, and companies that were in fine shape not too long ago are either shuttering their doors or being swallowed up by other companies in the "new" digital world.

The fact is, as far as SLRs go, Nikon and Canon own a vast share of the market. While I owned and liked a Pentax SLR and a Minolta SLR back in the film days, I didn't even consider them when I went digital - for exactly the reasons Man-Fai specified.

Diversity is nice, but it didn't help Minolta... who merged with Konica before being swallowed up by Sony.
