Good point. If I were to meet a camera salesman in a proper photo
store who understood the difference between TTL and P-TTL I would be
very impressed. If I met one in a mainstream Ritz/CompUSA/BestBuy/etc
store (where the majority of cameras - even DSLR's, I'd wager - are
sold) who understood the difference I'd faint.
Depends on the store. There's a local Black's (Canada's answer to Ritz
or Wolf Camera) that has absolutely superb salespeople, mostly guys who
didn't like the attitude at the local pro shops and went elsewhere.
Unfortunately the lone Pentax shooter among them recent quit.
