Money talks, or in this case, it promotes and sells cameras.
That's always the case, when Samsung start throwing money at DSLR promotion who's going to be the suppliers? Aparrently Samsung and Jessops don't get along, will we see a revival of Dixons' miranda badging? this time on cutting edge cameras.

I agree, have you tried finding Pentax gear on the high street recently? In york yesterday the only camera I found was a very tatty Super A with no batteries, and that was in a second hand shop!
Jessops seem to be focusing on Sony, even to the detriment of Canon and Nikon. Come on Pentax get your finger out, it's no good having the best cameras if nobody can buy them!

I'm not sure how this is going to work. When you get your images out of the scanner and into the computer, you will then just have to process them through Photoshop in exactly the same way as your digital images. How will shooting on film make the images better?

I really think it's much easier to use a digital camera for this, and I mention it because I'm pretty sure you will end up disappointed in your scanner if this is the only purpose you are buying it for.
Agreed I'll need to process the images once scanned, but I enjoy using 35MM cameras, the only options open are to scan the print or negative, or have a cd made at the developing stage.
Digital is easier, but you don't think the same about a shot.

I agree, although the MX is loaded and ready to go I take my K200D along as well. As for using 'other' brands, I have an AGFA range finder that sees the occasional film.

Hmm. I've started shooting film again after a long lay off. My digital editing skills amount to cropping and adjusting colours occasionally, I'm interested in a scanner for film so that I can post better images on the web. My current Canon scanner is dying, the colours are a bit iffy! I don't want to have the prints digitized when the film is developed, you end up with too many CDs that way, so a new scanner seems the best way forward. So which one? Oh yes I forgot to mention I'm a cheapskate as well!

So if the DFxxx are Minolta clones does that mean the K200/400 are the same with just a K mount?

Final post from me, got a lens on ebay, not the one in the picture (different number!) but OK, now I need to use it.

Nice shots, but why is the moon a different colour in Oz?

What scanner do you use to get 35mm neg's into your computer. I need a new scanner so do I a.) get one that scans everything or B.) get a cheap one and invest in a dedicated film scanner?
