I just use Elements, and add my signature as a brush, but you can also watermark. Plus I have my copyright info added to the EXIF on uploading photos.
Jalbum also has the ability to add a watermark to all photos in an album. I use that quite often.

Odd that you can't see it. Nevertheless the address is clearly stated on the website, and the T&C refer to payment of taxes. Surely these are things anyone looks at before placing an order? Or should look at before placing an order. Certainly with a company one is unfamiliar with.

To a certain extent yes, but remember that all cameras are different so what may be a punchy, saturated photo on a Canon is probably more due to the characteristics of Canon than the lens, though the reviewer, not having tried the lens on a different mount, may not realise this. Also what may work well with a 10MP camera may not work with a 14MP camera as it could be out-resolved by the sensor.
Plus the difference in focus speed, different HSM workings and the like will possibly effect the review.

Also in their T&C it states that your purchase may be subject to taxes.
Unless they have radically changed their website since this topic was started it seems all pretty above board to me.

I always read the About Us and T&C sections of an internet company before I even think about ordering from them.

Edit: Also under "about us" it clearly gives the Los Angeles address. I can't see that they are hiding what they are really.

You are just as bad for even thinking such things .

I doubt Pentax would have bothered with the K-7 if things were that bad.

Hoya have always said the K20D will be discontinued as they will be replacing it (and the K200D) with one middle ground camera and the K-m could probably benifit from some small upgrades as well.
I know Mike, I know . I am sure there are new models on the way. It was just a shock to hear the K-m is to be discontinued so soon.

Meanwhile I'm hanging on to my K20d and my cash (hah! what cash? ) and will see what they come up with next.

According to a Dutch blog the status of the K20D in Japan is now "end of life" which means production has stopped.
Apparently, according to the Dutch importers, the K-m is also scheduled for the same status soon
With the demise of the K200D that leaves only the K-7 in production.

Either there are new models due very soon or the doomsayers are right.

Yes it's fine. I have no problems with it at all, except I won't be able to sell it.
It is always kept in it's case unless I'm using it and I have no idea when the flecks appeared, or what caused them, but as long as it functions I'm not too worried. I could probably send it back of course but it's more hassle than it is worth.
