Winner Picking engine/algorithm broken

Can't believe you would say a non-DSLR camera beats a top level DSLR camera http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-P50.... Your recommendation algorithm needs to take popularity or whatever it is taking into account less.

    Hey StDevious
    You found one of our holes in our system, our recommendation algorithm is not designed to compare a $2000 high end DSLR to a entry level super zoom. The Nikon P500 wins because we give it points for having a lens, and because the Pentax K-5 doesn't have a lens it loses out (big time). You can see how we award points here: http://snapsort.com/compare/Nikon-P50...
    We realize this is an issue and are planning to add in "virtual lenses" at some point but again it only really effects the score when you compare a DSLR or Mirrorless to a point and shoot camera.
