At the moment I'm still in "kid with new toy" mode, but do find that I'm
taking lots more (bad) shots than usual. I subscribe to the film is cheap
school and thought I took lots of film shots, but have tried all sorts of
things this week, most of which have resulted in files to bin.
I went out yesterday with the DL2 and an LX, and found myself using the DL2
to test a shot out and then taking a couple with my proper camera (freudian
slip!!).
As a camera, it is neat and handy to use, although I don't like the
viewfinder. I find being able to carry around the equivalent of 28 - 300mm
in such a small package good, but mentally still see it as a glorified P&S,
rather than a serious camera.
Being a slide person, I like the immediacy of results, but am not looking
forward to spending hours post processing and managing image files.
I find working with M and K lenses fairly instinctive even after a few tens
of shots with them.
One thing that does annoy me and will no doubt cost me is that the built in
flash is as bad as you would expect and I'll need to but an AF360Z to get
any flash automation.
Finally, I can't get used to the strange sound it makes when I take a shot.
I think Pentax should implant cameras with a film wind on sound simulator to
make dinosaurs like me feel comfortable. Perhaps you could have a menu to
dial up the sound of a particular camera.
