Then please parse your words for me: "Funny, when you find people on this forum feeling they need to move to one of those two very cameras. I think that sometimes we just fall prey to the need for something new and then rationalize the why after the fact. But as long as you have the money and are happy with the decision afterwards, more power to you." Rationalizing after the fact can somewhat imply that a rational thought (thinking) process did not occur earlier. As long as you're not painting me with your wide brush of generalization I'm fine. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
