I agree John, but I;m willing to go a bit lower. They they should be competing at the minimum, at the top of the APS-C arena. That's now in the 24 MP range and has been for approximately a year. If one walked into an establishment and saw a 24 MP kit for $999 and a 16 MP kit for $999, and one was a name you instantly recognized and you knew people that had that brand, and the other ones was less recognizable and lower spec'd based upon the advertising on the side of the box, which one will likely sell more? You have to sell cameras, to make money, to make more cameras. It's Business 101.
