Andrew - your excuse for the wallet is that your missus hadn't finished with it!!

If this is the marketing strategy that Ricoh Pentax are adopting, I find this very strange, to say the least. Are they implying that they don't want "specialist retailers" selling their products "on the cheap" because they are trying to market the brand as a "high-end" product, or is it their intention to allow their mass production of stock be sold by the "quantity over quality" stores such as those trading under the Dixons Stores Group (DSG) banner, Argos, and the likes?

My take on this is that if they allow the "specialists" to sell the product, they create and maintain an image (no pun intended! ) of manufacturing a prestige product. Conversely, if they go down the "knock'em out, 3 for a £1"-type shops, then they will find themselves swimming in a very small pool full of sharks. Most folks would recognise the Nikon, Canon, and Sony brands (and a few others) straight off. Are Ricoh Pentax prepared to take a gamble that they have a similar identity/reputation in the camera market amongst a wider target audience?

Perhaps Ricoh Pentax have plans to launch an Apple-type store globally, selling nothing but Pentax products, and having a dedicated team of advisers on-hand to extol the virtues of their goods?

If they're still on the go, try giving McCormacks in Glasgow's Buchanan Street a call, or there's Watson's Print in Dobbies Loan, Glasgow. There may even be somebody a bit closer to you, such as Inverness, so maybe a wee phone call to the club secretary of ICT, or perhaps Ross County FC, to find out who they use for printing the matchday programmes, then go from there.

No.3 for me, Mark!! Agree with the comment about cropping some of the foreground (maybe consider doing it as a pano?). +1!!

David - unfortunately, we now live in a "names in frames" society. When you and I were younger, we were happy to attend PE classes in a pair of black sandshoes. Nowadays, you "cannot properly exercise" unless you are wearing the latest Nike Air Jordan's, and we have to drink "isotonic fluids" when winding down from that exercise. It's become the same with technology, with people extolling the virtues of the iPhone over Blackberry, Samsung, HTC, etc. The danger these days is that, unless you unashamedly put your name in that frame, you will simply fade away and die. I believe that now is the time that Ricoh Pentax should be shouting their name from the rooftops, even if it involves "product placement" in the next Hollywood blockbuster that happens along.

I might be wrong here, so I apologise in advance...

When we were all using "analogue" (35mm) SLR's, Pentax were "up there" with the best. My own take on this scenario is that when digital came along, it was Nikon, Minolta, Olympus, and Canon (all specialists in the general field of electronics, I might add) were at the forefront of digital photography. Pentax, being "photography purists" have kind of suffered, since they (in the early stages, at least) were playing "catch-up" with the Canikons of this world. I can see the evolutionary process that Ricoh (another electronics company) are injecting into the Pentax process, to put the brand back amongst the "big boys". I think it is safe for me to predict that in the next 3-5 years, Pentax will be "trendsetting", with envious eyes being cast upon them by the aforementioned companies.

Louise - if that's all you want to do with your photos, why not have a look at Microsoft's Windows Live Photo Gallery? It's free, and easy to use. PSE is maybe a bit more complex than what your needs are - that's not to say it's no good, just that for the simplistics you are aiming for may be a bit of overkill.

Not bad!!... But when you zoom over towards Heathrow and where I live, it's shrouded in a mist! I can just about see the 2 tower blocks across the road from me, but that's about it.

A camera has a shutter - a dropped camera has a shatter!!

Was the guy holding the video camera thinking that he was shooting a remake of The 39 Steps then??
