Kids are very very smart today and you bet they do a lot of research on the Internet before making a decision. So all kinds of DSLRs do come up but "Mirror Less" are mostly absent or extremely limited, and forget 4/3rd Systems.
Again Photography Students buy mostly pre-owened Equipment, so that getting a hit on-line for 4/3rd or Mirror Less Cameras are very limited as their sales and market population are limited. And their prices are not cheap if they find one compared to a pre-owened DSLR. Also one cannot buy the idea that students do not have knowledge of DSLRs so they turn up in Class with a P&S - what with the abundance of folks carrying DSLRs on our streets, TV, Paper or Magazine Ads. There is a joke now that Photography Students will turn up for Photography Lessons with their Hi Tech Smart Phones - well why not? And here is "proof of the pudding" - my grand daughter is three & a half years old - she insists I let her have my Pentax K-5 IIs to take a "pretend" photo. She does not want her Mom's Hi End Canon P&S. Regards.
