Just because they are the two "leaders" doesn't mean they are the best, and I can assure you, you won't find the best deals from those two. Especially when regarding price to performance. It makes sense that brands who are behind in sales, will have to cut their prices, so with that in mind, you'll get much better deals from the under dogs. Anyways, were here to help and in this case showing them the broad picture is beneficial instead of limited them, even if they end up going that route.
He very well may of chosen without me, but that wasn't the point I was trying to make, I meant that for Ben Nikon is a good choice, and I would recommend it, but that doesn't mean that that's the right choice for everyone.

Well, I personally can't recommend Pentax (just like I can't recommend Via processors) or most other of the less popular brands since I've never used one... they're probably very good, but I've never tried one... I've tried Nikon, Canon, Olympus, and Fuji... Nikon, Canon, and Fuji are good, but I don't like Olympus... if Olympus cameras were good I'd recommend them, but since they aren't I don't recommend them.
