I share Peters view. The point is that there is no internet related standard organization document declaring "Pentax, the official digital camera of the internet". This is purely pretentious marketing bunk and means absolutely nothing, in fact it makes their marketing department look like fools to many. See: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/inet-standards.html Just google "official digital camera of the internet" and see how much negativity towards the brand it has generated within the Internet community, the only site that you will see with a positive spin on it is, you guessed, Pentax.
