Canon as in camera. Your explanation reads like they may have had more interest in you. Maybe just my incorrect take on it though.K10D wrote:

I think Pentax the brand is highly thought of by people who were around in the pre digital days when it had a larger share than the "other two" in 35mm slr sales.
You will however have noticed presently as a brand name it's high street presence is pretty much non existent being the domain of the other two.
So either they were being friendly. Or being friendly in a pitiful way thinking you hadn't moved into the digital age, or as i suspect genuinely envious and feeling a bit sorry for themselves in not having done enough research.
Personally I've only met one other Pentax dslr user in 35yrs and that was on St Malo beach a couple of months ago.

They obviously cannot afford Pentax
