I once set up a web site thruogh WIX. I have since abandoned it as it was too fussy for my taste. Yes it is slow and yes it can be a bit painful to navigate; but honestly, having just read a few of the negative comments made on this web site, I am thoroughly disgusted by the rude - not to mention patronising - responses from so called 'Pro Masters' and others. I thought web sites like this one were supposed to be places where like minded poeple could support each other in their common interest: phoyography. You had to click tice did you? Gee that must have been really tiring for you all. How did you all manage to survive? By all means give straight critism but at least give the person credit for trying to get their stuff out there for people to see. If you are all so well informed about these things, why not suggest other avenues or ways of making the images and poetry better seen and read.
As a web designer in a past life having to click more than twice to reach content is a huge turn off.

I have just changed the theme to my WordPress site. Time taken about 5 mins. Upload theme text and leave...

What's a pds file. Is that a Photoshop file? Sounds uncompressed to me

The RSPCA would not get involved in animal cruelty in case in m town recently until footage of the cruelty went viral on facebook. Only when a baying mob went round to 'sort it out' did they then get involved

I guess the quality is more a reflection on how photo journalists work in the modern era, less SLR & more camera phone...

-- Somehow it feels like a 35mm full-size mirrorless is truly in our near future.

Kitazawa: Near future? Thank you (laughter).

-- Certainly things seem to be leaning that way. I mean, from the direction of this conversation, and Pentax's attitude.

Kitazawa: These are just my personal feelings. Just my thinking!

- But even if you say it's just your personal stance, Mr. Kitazawa, surely it's still a reflection of what Pentax is thinking?

Kitazawa: No, of course not, this is just my personal thinking.
Now, to me, it seems the interviewer is chasing Mr Kitazawa all over the place trying to pin down some sort of hint about new products, but fails to get anything firm. The firmest promise that Mr Kitazawa makes is this one:

Moving forward at Pentax, we want to make even our entry-level SLR models offer full coverage. Without fail.
exactly the points i was just going to make...

Thanks, but for me, ethics is how I do business; principle is whether I do business.

You seem to infer that neither ethics nor principles exist in a capitalist society. Maybe it's not me who's in the wrong country?
Anyway, blame it on the way I was brought up - to treat other people as I would expect to be treated. There's nothing wrong with making money - far from it - it's how you make it that's important.
you will notice there is a smiley at the end if my comment, that's there for a reason, it means don't take it to seriously...
