Richard, Apr 30, 2013  A major part of it is marketing.
Awareness is a major road-block, especially when it comes to
"tradition". Most people don't think "interchangeable lens
cameras". The think "DSLR", and when they do that, they also
think either Canon or Nikon. And that is where a hefty chunk of
sales is. The masses are generally averse to change, and thrive
on following the norm. They tend to not evaluate pros and cons,
they buy what they find "comfort" in. Or as you put it...

deal. Sure a niche market person may pay extra for the oly but
not the masses. This is not to say the masses are the smartest
consumers but I know the canon works well enough for the average
user.  EinsteinsGhost's gear list:EinsteinsGhost's gear list
