The Digital Photography survey showed that more than 20% of women use Kodak cameras while only 10% of men choose to use the brand. The most popular camera manufacturer among the male of the species is Canon, with 17% of men using that brand, followed by Sony. Lyra's president and director of the Digital Photography Advisory Service, Charles LeCompte, explains the findings: "The explanation is that women in general are less comfortable with technology and therefore are more attracted to trusted brands."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/kodak_chart.jpg" /><br /><br />Hmm, not sure that women are less comfortable, they just don't want the hassle that men seem to enjoy with digital photography. I think my wife calls that being smarter.<br /><br />Interesting that Nikon doesn't crack the top 5 with either men or women.
