K-7 Countdown Clock on DPR!

Just did a quick scan of the big threads and didn't see this but the countdown clock is now on DPR. Interesting that there is Pentax marketing there

I think they have rotating ad banner, so you may or may not see it depending on when you load the page.

is it supposed to be on the top. says ads by google and those are randomized and based on location

it does not help

we here in Lithuania do not see countdown

we'll there are plenty different countdowns on various sites like:
- pentaximaging.com (6h 30m)
- pentax.es/home.htm (5h 30m)
- pentax.de/de/foto.php (5h 30m)
At least this is what i see now at 10:30 LTU time

Vaikis_ · 05-20-2009, 12:37 AM

all change clock let's say + ~10 h. and refresh page, nothing happens

So this countdown don't post any info in pentaximaging and other sites

Most of the counters do the error of using the servers locale for the ending time and the clients locale for the starting time. The spanish counter shows 20 minutes left for me

Well, just clicking refresh on the DPR home page gave me a banner on the side saying:

"Your Vision, Our Vision, the new K-7, our most inspiring Pentax Ever"

The click here for more information link is broken at the moment but this seems pretty official, so I think this is the first real confirmation of the K-7 name.

I see it too.

Link is broken for me too.
