I shouldn't be surprised that Leica and Hasselblad come in #1 and #2 best. However, I think the list is a little disingenuous, in that those two brands are likely not going to be on your average photographer's shopping list. A professional can amortize the cost, write off depreciation, and can justify the cost in many ways the amatuer, semi-pro and struggling-to-put-food-on-the-table pro can't.
It is a ranking of brand quality, not affordability.
