ALL of the top ten is dominated by Canon and Nikon considering the Panasonic and the junky GE shouldn’t be on the list.
They aren’t DSLRs
There are a couple there that aren’t SLRs.
true both the Panasonic and the GE are bridge (Hybrid) cameras:
“They offer offer a non-optical electronic through-the-lens (TTL) view through the focusing lens, via the eye-level electronic viewfinder (EVF) as well as the rear LCD. The difference in views compared to a DSLR is that the EVF shows a digitally created TTL image, whereas the viewfinder in a DSLR shows an actual optical TTL image via the reflex viewing system. An EVF image has lag time (that is, it reacts with a delay to view changes and has a lower resolution than an optical viewfinder) but achieves parallax-free viewing using less bulk and mechanical complexity than a DSLR with its reflex viewing system.” ~ wikipedia
you both are right. though amazon still considers them among dslrs which confused me as well, i guess for the lack of a proper category
but i still didnt feel comfortable playing with the list as i think its for the consumer to decide
How come Nikon D7000 is on the list?
I mean not on the list.
=) well this is the list according to amazon
I like this list because mine Nikon D3000 listed in it.
