After returning from my trip, during which I had my camera in-hand all day during daylight hours almost every day for just short of a month---my first experience of that---my mind keeps running off in thoughts about a new camera. Two thoughts: an "enthusiast" level compact walking around camera or a DSLR with great low-light performance and high image quality. Was leaning toward the Fuji X10 or X20 regarding the former till I read a review that said they produce images that are a bit soft. Regarding the latter, I've wanted a K-5 since is first saw some of the low-light images. New ones are still available from Amazon. [I'd go used but KEH wants the same amount for LN. My thinking at the moment is to go with Paul's solution and kill two birds with one stone. You may remember me fretting about what kind of camera to take on the walk part of my trip. In the end I decided to go with m *istDS and a couple of short focal length primes, an A 28/2.8 and an A 50/1.7. I never took the 28/2.8 off the camera. Essentially my solution was Paul's. So, not a done deal, yet, but leaning very strongly that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net "With an ounce of willingness, everything can change." - Kim -- 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.
