I like the way the K-5 is described as "Highly Sensitive". Does that mean you shouldn't say it looks fat?
The whole site does appear to have been written by someone who is fluent in English but not a native speaker.
Either that or they just ran it through Google Translate!

All the websites are made in France I believe which would explain the mistakes. I haven't checked the Dutch site in any detail for typos or bad Dutch.
It has the same house style as the British site and I think they look good.
No link to PU on the Dutch site, nor a link to the Dutch Pentax forum, but there is a small gallery there. Still the same useless importer though .

This doesn't excuse the typos / bad grammar on the K-01 product page though:
millimeters
minimizing
usefull
lense
developped
it also introduce a large range of filters
PENTAX is well know to create "pancakes" lenses
A couple of those spellings are American English; millimeters, minimizing. It suggests the spell checker has been at work.Is it just me, or has the Pentax UK website been revamped? Looks very good. I note Pentax User has a link there!

Are you saying Dutch is a real language? I thought you just made it up as you went along. Like Welsh!

I'm struggling to think of one that came originaly from Welsh that is in common use. So I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently we've got a "few" (11 in all)

So the errors may be caused by low grade silicon in the computers of those who produce the sites.

This doesn't look very professional, and is a shame considering the website now looks so good. Can someone from the PU team make these points to Pentax UK so they can rectify the mistakes?
