A friend of mine here at 'Tech was looking to get a DSLR the other day when he came by to ask me about camera stuff. He was planning on a Cannikon since he knew of a fried or two who had one. While *trying* to be impartial and not discourage any particular brand, the SR, cost, backwards lens compatibility, and AA-batteries sold him on a K100D over all others.
His order came in yesterday and I played with it a bit. I'm gonna have to get me one of them thar SR Pentax's... :) I hope that with the K100D and the K10D and all of it's fairly innovative features, they'll get a bit more press and customers. Now if only I could get my logarithmic RGB histogram and aperture coupler... :) -Cory -- ************************************************************************* * Cory Papenfuss, Ph.D., PPSEL-IA * * Electrical Engineering * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************************************* -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
