I've been using Nicole's K-r as a backup body this weekend. On one hand, I've
been impressed with how well it does and what a huge improvement over the K-x
it is. Unfortunately it seems to have a flakey control/thumb wheel. Sometimes
it works OK, sometimes it will not read a click, sometimes it will only feed
signals for going one way, no matter which way you turn the wheel. I guess
we'll discuss the issue with KEH when we get back.

I was discussing packing, camera gear etc. with my friend Nicole who
will be driving in the SCCA runoffs next week. I joked that if she
replaced her D90 with a Pentax body, then we could share lenses, with
less to pack, and I'd be able to keep a second lens mounted when
photographing her track sessions.
In order to convince ourselves that this really was not a feasible
idea, we looked up the price for K-3 at KEH (about $80 less than new
on Amazon). However, they also had a red K-r for $168.
She has a thing for red, it arrives tomorrow.
I do still have my stormtrooper K-x, but the shutter button has been
rather fussy for a while.
Yes, I know a woman software engineer, who races cars and makes
impulse purchases of camera gear, maybe unicorns also exist.
