Complete our survey for the chance to win an iPad 2

Is this a hoax? It's been 2 1/2 months and no winner announced!

I agree with Isabel Cutler and anyway there's nothing preventing the submission of any old rubbish just to complete the form for a very slim chance of winning the prize.

A waste of everyone's time imho.

Too long, just went on and on....so left to go back to working on my photos.

Some of the questions were very difficult to answer and my estimates were guesses based on the necessity to fill in the blanks, e.g. how much is my equipment worth, how many pictures do I have on my computer, how many do I have online. There were similar questions that were difficult to answer without several hours of research.

There should be one more option asking about earning money from photography. I don't get cash explicitly from taking photos, however, photography supports me in my job. I can't make the direct connection but I believe that I have more job security and have earned bonuses because of the added value I provide through the use of photography. Hard to put a dollar value on that.

What is an IPad? Do I need one?

Nand.

I stopped filling in the survey after the fifth or sixth or was it the tenth page. Too long, the questions making no sense with regard to my wishes and wants, the carrot (ipad) too far away with too much in between.
You need to throw in some questions of more interests at an earlier stage - if there exist some at all?
May be I have an unique situation, because as a NEX owner an ipad does not make any sense at all for taking pictures.
kindest greetings

Excellent survey! There should have been some questions on features we would like to see in the next DSLRs from Nikon and Canon. I really wish I win the prize! Fingers crossed.....

The survey is too long for you guys to fill out? Great! Better chance of me winning that ipad, then. :-)

I thought it was an interesting survey, but it did need a different choice in one of the fields - for example: 'Do you even own a phone with a camera?'

A bit nervous about clicking on a choice for "How much have you spent?" I would have liked a "N.O.Y.B." option (none of your business)

I have just filled in the questionnaire. Interesting exercise. But since you - DPReview - didn't ask, I will bring a comment here.
After several years I still appreciate my daily visits to your site. But I think there is too much now. Too many different things that are not strictly relevant.
I liked it better when it was just news about cameras and lenses. However, the lens reviews are excellent!

Well, so far I've never won anything in actions like that, so I'm not having overly high hopes in this one too... :) Thank God I already have some gear to work with, so Good Luck to all and heartfelt congrats to whoever gets the prize! :)))

Im a little dissapointed that the q/a was asking information that feels so besides the fundamental issues we are interested in. Most of us seem to be more interested in expressing specific requirements about our cameras, questions and requirments we feel deserve more attention than "Do you own a DSLR and did it make you more enthusiastic about taking pictures"?

What about important questions like improvments for DSLR features, or even more important, what do people want to see from the Mirrorless generation?

Your survey description lists these important questions first, but fails to enter into a level of detail that warrants it being mentioned at all. I hope I eanred you some good money for participating, after all this is just market research NOT photographic feedback.

A bad start "If you are very enthusiastic about photography - NOT a professional photographer - we want your opinion. "

We don't care about "pro" opinion !!! wow...it's nice....!

This is a long survey trolling for photo marketing statistics. Don't expect to see "what would you like to see in a DSLR" type questions. Wouldn't do it again.

Pretty obvious that this is just a marketing survey for ipad apps. Casual photographers that dont represent a serious revenue stream need not apply.

too long

I was sometimes not sure whether I should only use my digital "numbers" or include also analogue ones.

I liked this one:
Q: "Do you think you have real talent for photography?"
A: "You bet I do" :)

The survey kept asking me about my mobile phone. I don't have a mobile phone. Could not complete the survey!
