Disagree with the first piece about only using the top 0.1%. I grew up (through my 20's) shooting on a Pentax K1000, cheap workhorse of a camera, and I preferred its ergonomics to top-end mirrorless cameras I use today.

The K1000 is generally considered among the best film SLRs ever made, especially for the price, and easily falls into the top 0.1% category in my mind. There's a reason why it was in continuous production for 20 years with hardly any changes to its design.

I guess my quibble is with the percentage, then. A good, cheap, plentiful camera belies the idea that only the top 0.1% of cameras were good.
