Canikon strikes again !!

Just been browsing the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the year book (portfolio 14). Dozens of beautiful images and NOT ONE taken on a Pentax SLR !! (digital OR film !) I was surprised ! I thought there would be a few !? No need to say what they were taken with, is there !? Only mention of Pentax was for the '645' (2 pics). Is it ALL snobbery or is there really a big difference, or maybe just a good sales job !?

I don't think it's snobbery, it's just that Pentax only holds just under 3% of the market share so by law of averages you'll see far fewer Pentax photos than you will Canon and Nikon. Nothing to stop you entering next year and bucking the trend.

I should be so lucky not that good ! (yet !!)

Keep practising and you never know!

I'm usually quite impressed with Pentax representation in "open" competitions; it's not uncommon to see anywhere between 5-10% of finalists using Pentax equipment, which considering how many cameras Pentax actually sell (compared to the big boys) means they seem to punch well above their weight. It's just a more exclusive club...

Also wonder how much the big 2 subsidise proffesionals to use their brands.
