What day will our bins be collected this week?

If the couple knew anyone with a Canon or Nikon they would have been roped in to do the wedding for free and you wouldn't even be there!

Weddings move that fast anyway no one has time to look at the camera.

There used to be a pro wedding photographer near where I live and all people noticed about her was that she wore a big hat The number of times I've heard someone reply to a question such as "Who did your wedding photos" with "The woman with the big hat"

She wasn't a bad photographer and I can't remember what camera she used? I just have an image of the big hat in my mind

You could do a wedding with anything it's all about technique. This photographer once showed me how he used a Rollei looking through the sportsfinder and guessing the distance...
Looks like he still guesses distances and I'm sure he could use any camera including a point and shoot.

In the past Canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta, Leica, Contax and all other 35mm makers never bothered with the wedding market. It was (and still is) very small and was dominated by 6x6 cameras such as the Hasselblad ELM and Mamiya TLR's. Today I would consider the Pentax 645Z more suitable for weddings than FF.

It is updated continuously and with Samsung doing so well I wouldn't think
the whole sector was all that big.

Apologies to the people on here who don't like "Facts getting in the way of Fiction" Sadly the Fuji cameras often mentioned on here as selling like hot-cakes only have one camera in the Top 20

WOW!!!! PENTAX K-S1 currently NO: 4 on UK Chart

I bet that's never happened before

Forget the Pentax FF bring on the K-S2

Edit: K-5 II at NO: 20

The Sony FF A7's etc. are in the DSLR chart on the UK. Much
lower down. Looks like Pentax DSLR's are BIG sellers on
Amazon UK.

Sony are having more success with APS-C than FF the A6000 is outselling everything.
I bet they regret not putting more effort into variations of the A6000.

Samsung are also doing well. I don't think Pentax belong in the CSC market
apart form with the Q series which is in at No: 59

People moan about the number of lenses that Pentax have, but conveniently seem to forget that Sony probably have more bodies than lenses now!

From memory CanNik lens sales were about 150% of camera sales so the money is in the lenses.

Good!

Nothing wrong with the price. The grip alone is worth more than £100.

I would call £250 a "1st Cousin Price"
