I was wondering how many representatives are on POTN from the camera/lens/equipment industry as well as reps from the large vendors? Besides photography, I am also into firearms, and the manufacturers and large and small vendors have an extremely active presence on those forums. Many's the time I have seen a mfg rep step in and clarify a disagreement over their product, or take direct action on a customer service issue. Since the POTN is an international community, it's seems like it would benefit the mfg's. I know Helen from Adorama is on here, as I have seen her answer questions. Just wondering about others. -rick

I'm sure that they are lurking here, but I'm just as sure that they would never admit it!

I hope they are here so they can see what we need, not what they think we want!

Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).

Most believe they know more about what you want than you do. They would be correct.

I know the reps from Adorama and Henry's are here but I think any Canon people are probably told that they can only post to these forums as a personal post - not as a rep of Canon.

So they won't admit it. But I'll bet theres some here from time to time.

They are all here but they hang out at the special VIP lounge, which has a red circular couch in it to enhance the ambiance :-)

Would they? If so then why don't they make it?
