I'm not sure what Yahoo has to do with it either(?).

As the unnamed person to whom you refer, I will respond.

I would have sent Joaquin an email, but there was no link to do so. I still
do
not know how to contact him through the website.

Oftentimes people here post URLs to sites that they have created and images
they are newly offering. The comments here are constructive and helpful.
When
giving opinions, some of us want to help the individual display their
offerings
in the best possible light, thus the comments about the site design. When I
feel that one could better show what they have to offer, I present my
opinion.
A person with the greatest images in the world with an unusable website will
disappoint, and be disappointed.

I offered to the site designer an opinion that a link that takes one to a
confusing JavaScript (not Java) prompt, as opposed to a page with the link's
description, would yield lost sales. The designer of the camera is not
being
well server by the designer of the site. Certainly, this is information
that
Joaquin would like to have, as it would be unfortunate to have such an
interesting design not be successful due to a failure by a Webmaster.

Joaquin did indeed contact me (thanks Joaquin), so I was able to get some
information from him. However, my feeling is that people find it helpful to
receive feedback on all aspects of their presentation. For those
photographers
out there who are working on their own websites, they can only be commended
for
their efforts, and thanked for sharing their vision. For those camera
designers who are depending upon someone else to present their wares to the
world, I have a much hasher view when I see that their webmaster's design is
more about their design, and less about the camera's design.
