I wonder how many of these are owned by forum members?

Not really sure why some of these are listed and some others are not. For instance, why the K20 and not the K10? Why no Contax? Why is the Argos C3 in twice?

I do have seven of them.

Is the K20D there as being the first dslr with some form of video capture, albeit not brilliant (it was released before the Nikon D90)

It didn't have a true video mode, but you could shoot video with the k20d in 21fps bust mode:

The iPhone 5 as a Landmark camera? what nonsense. If any mobile phone is going down as a landmark camera it's the 41MP Nokia 808.

At least random collections of cameras passed off as some kind of Landmarks by someone with no real authority is always going to be contentious and annoy people. Good for debate

I don't really see the point in being 'annoyed' by someone else's idea of what constitutes a 'landmark camera'; in most cases it's always going to be a bit of a subjective choice.

Good for debate though, as you say. No Spotmatic? No LX? What heresy... get the stake and the kindling ready....

If nothing else it's a superb bit of graphic design. A lot of hard work that to make it look good!
