I recently received some spam, that has a fotosense-specific email address.
Has anyone else ever noticed something similar?
e.g. I used email address of the form fotosense@mydomain when dealing with
them, and later got a phishing email, from another source, not fotosense
obviously, to the same address, which I have never used in the clear on the
net AFAICR (or find through google).

Same happened to me with Photobox.

Yes, same thing - I used a specific address for Fotosense. I emailed them
and told them, suggesting that either their database had been compromised
or that they had been selling addresses, and that I would not buy from
them again unless they provided an explanation. They haven't replied.
Their web interface is rather dire anyway. It doesn't work with my Mac
(they actually have information stating that there website doesn't work
with various browsers and only works with certain versions of Microsoft's
offering). You have to join before you can order anything and the last
camera I bought for my wife, they didn't have (and there is a bit of a
story with that as well)..
I bought the camera from Bristol Cameras, www.bristolcameras.co.uk and
since then have purchased a memory card from them. Their web interface is
easy to use. A tad more expensive than fotosense but no hassle.
Pity really because I bought my first camera from Fotosense and, as there
were ne problems with delivery and the price was very good, I intended to
use them again. But they have actually managed to put me off as a
returning customer.

I have emailed the data protection authority, waiting to see if I get a
response.
