K-01 non-existent?

muzee · 09-03-2013, 08:10 AM

Looking at the Flickr data for all Pentax camera, can't seem to find the K-01.
What's happening?

K-01 users don't upload?
K-01 doesn't exist (or has a different name)? Or,
K-01 isn't a Pentax camera?

Yeah, that's Flickr being Flickr. I believe I read somewhere that several people sent requests to have the camera added, but nothing ever resulted from that. There is a K-01 Flickr Group however, and it's currently about 600-member strong.

Following up on myself, but... I tried earlier to send something into Flickr Support. Just got this response:

The Q and the MX-1 are not listed either.
Or the K-5II/s or the K-50 and K-500.
Yet there are plenty of photos from all cameras if you search.

Yahoo are just dropping the ball

The revamp of flickr a few months ago, was not just dropping the ball: it was cutting the ball into ribbons, and burying it.

I can hardly bear to look at my flickr photostream without the "&details=1" adjustment.

It's this web wide move to 'Responsive design' for mobile devices that is (in some cases) creating a bad UX for desktop browsers.

Flickr: Camera Finder: Pentax

Speaking on behalf of all K-01 owners (we've had a meeting): we're too busy out in the real world taking cool, arty and "in the moment" pictures, to upload to $RANDOM-SOCIAL-NETWORK.

Its nothing to do with the revamp, either. It to forever to start seeing the K-x in Flickr when it launched, and my P&S Samsung took almost a year to show up, and when it did it was lumped in with half a dozen other models that preceded it.
