The K-1 (No: 22) and K-70 (No: 40) are selling well in Japan at present. If they keep that up I'm sure they will climb up the ladder by quite a few rungs

Includes mirrorless and seems to be just online sales.

The Ratings at 4.80 and 4.96 are right at the top

Bear in mind that there has been a big drop in overall sales of all over the last few years.

But they used to have 7.5% up to about 2012 and Sony (3rd place in 2013 with 7.1%) have almost dropped out of DSLR's and moved to mirrorless.

The other man's grass is not always greener

Lot of AF Fails from Canikon and Sony here......

CZ Sonnar 55mm f/1.8 95% Failure

If photographers knew anything about focusing they would realize that accurate AF is impossible. Shots are usually rescued by the DOF of the lens.

I can't believe that your complaining on a public website just because the website wasn't available late at night on just one night. You probably kept serverboy at work until well past 1:30am

The best advice I ever received was from that famous wildlife photographer Ronnie Flapper he said " If it squawks like a bird and walks like a bird then it needs a bit longer in the oven"

Bad workmen always blame their tools

Real photographers like this guy just take photographs with a Pentax K-5 and stuff.

Get on with it

Intel is faster than AMD for Photoshop. I went for an Intel Core i5 4440 (£145) and 16gb Skill RipjawsX RAM. I can't see a lot of difference from 8GB.

The stock Intel 4440 FAN is very quiet no need to replace it unless you want to overclock. I don't think the 4440 can be overclocked.
