I really find it curious that very few people even know that a
Pentax DSLR exists. 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... :)
