Nope. not much advertising at all. Its just been this way, I guess. But it soon might change here too. N and C are advertising quite a lot - and on their complete range, and not just high end. In one of the popular photography mags, there are ads for the Coolpix 5700, EOS D60, 66. Different ads for different target audieces like pros, hobbyists, etc. And there is one of Pentax too - Espio 115V. Not very luring at all. No target audience at all. No strategy. So... the market is this way because of past sales, and the future could very well be different here too :-( -Sridhar
