........ about why Pentax are the camera least likely to be recommended by their owners.

I was looking at the Which? website and Pentax are burdened by that unfortunate statistic - only 36% said they would recommend them to someone else.

Are they an acquired taste ? Quirky ? Not well designed and hard to learn/use ?

My ME Super from years ago was a beaut - so what has changed ?

people say good things about the pentax slr/dslr, perhaps the compacts aren't so good.

Pentax fell behind in the digital era, simple as that. They have a long way to go to catch up in terms of not only desirability but range of kit available.

Not all owners

I've had a play with the k10D and I'd recommend it as a good cam, so maybe their compacts aren't up to snuff?

Any review, even Which, is biased.

Sorry, but that's too glib and dismissive a statement to take seriously.

Which? is about as impartial as it gets in the consumer world - more so that yer average 'Pentax Forum Haunter'

Quote: I had a Pentax Optio small compact and moved to a Pentax K 100D and enjoy using it. I get looked at when I say I have a Pentax like ..' poor you,' ...or 'couldnt afford a better model.' But I mention it is a Pentax when I can.


You want to try telling people you have a Konica Minolta!
