John - there's a big difference between accessing by using a Web Browser on the iPhone or Touch and installing the App itself on your iPhone or Touch

The Nikon one which I have can be used when NOT connected to the Internet - this makes it particularly useful .

I've not looked at the Olympus one yet - too busy packing for my trip to France on Friday and checking I have the things needed for my cameras - spare batteries , chargers - you know all the mundane stuff without which it won't work.

Announced today

You mistake me Stefan - in that article as well as giving good info Zeiss are keeping their name visible.

Great wee advert for Zeiss

You spend money to make money.

Umm Olympus - ever bought anything from them ? I haven't but I know someone who has and how Olympus treats it's customers .

take a look at this - Calumet events in the UK - big company they do run educational events

http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/p/events

Now go through these - how many are about Pentax ?

Look at the one in Manchester on Tuesday April 27 - whose missing - guess

Next day in Birmingham - a wireless workflow Seminar - sponsored by ? not Pentax - Nikon

Manchester - wedding photography - sponsored by ??? - Canon this time

Now you could also tae a look at Calumet USA - I went to a printing seminar in New York - it was great . The printer that was used was a large Epson but the theatre that was used was sponsored by ?? Pentax - nah Canon again.

The public doesn't know the name Pentax - so they don't buy it

I despair - really I do.

How are we to spread the word of Pentax - whisper it to folk ?

We users of Pentax are aware of it - to anyone else - it's someone with a camera , it's not - " ooooooooh that camera is different what is it " ?

Pentax were not visible at the major UK photo show , not as a company but they were there on some retailers stands . That's not enough - it makes hesitant folk back off - if the company itself is not present what's wrong with it ?

Stefan - I don't care how much effort Pentax put into their cameras - and they are very fine cameras

BUT IF THEY DON'T GET THE CAMERAS INTO THE PUBLIC AWARENESS THEY AREN'T GOING TO SELL THEM

Which camera magazines give Pentax gear as prizes ?

Look folk - I admit I've a truly super camera BUT how are Pentax going to sell them if they don't advertise ?

Once again they are falling behind the other big companies.

Think back a few months - that latest promotion , what was it ? the £250 rebate you got - how long did it take to get your promised rebate ? How many of you actually complained about it - other than moaning on here [ and I don't blame you at all for that ] but how many actually contacted Pentax to tell them about the appalling length of time it took to get the money they promised you .

As a result of that bad experience how many would now recommend their friends to buy a Pentax during one of these rebate scheme times ?

that could be interesting
