Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
Somehow that reminds me of a discussion in Oslo a few months ago. It was noted that if muslims were as fundamentalist as some people think about one third of the bars and restaurants in Oslo would be closed during ramadahn, and they would never serve alcohol. DagT yeah, I remember him. He seemed nice and then it got ugly really quickly. He was some sort of fundamentalist Christian. Wait, does this mean that all Christians don't shop at BH?

Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
The national landscape is dotted with friendly local abortion providers who go about their day-to-day lives without bodyguards ... which raises a question: How many friendly local abortion providers are there in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, or any other predominantly Islamic nation? And how long do you suppose one would last if it were built? And, why is it that it bothers so many people that the Old Testament refers to the stoning of adulterers when cases of its adherents actually doing so are virtually unheard of, while those same people can't even bestir themselves to sneer at the conduct actually being performed as a common practice by adherents of the Qu'ran as exponents of Shariah law? I'm always amazed at the indignation of people who rail against the very notion of organized religion whenever a lone nutcase murders an abortion provider or phones in a bomb threat, while they placidly tut-tut the shame of a culture that by regular practice saws of the clitoris of an infant girl with a shard of glass in order to free her from temptation, or takes a dagger to the ears and nose of an adolescent girl who has brought shame upon her family by being seen in public with a boy she's not related or married to.

His writing indicated that he was probably a sedevacantist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedevacantism I don't remember specifically what tipped me off, but as he was spewing forth his typical fundie nonsense, he'd occasionally throw in something that a garden variety Baptist would never say.

Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
My first DSLR was a used E-20n. Whisper-quiet, built like a tank, and takes wonderful photos. I looked at Olympus for a long time when I started looking into buying my first new DSLR. The great thing about it is that it was a fixed-lens, so I didn't have anything invested beyond the cost of the camera and all the accessories ($120 US + shipping). So, I was free to look around. I was, of course, tempted by Canon and Nikon -- cajoled by friends to go with Canon, so I could be a part of the club. And, was even lured by the guy at the camera shop to try a Sony. But, I stuck to my guns and got the K-x that I'd been salivating over for months. Nary a regret to this day. But, I still like my Oly, and would use it a lot more often if the write-speed weren't so achingly slow. I've loaned it out to a kid to use as a learner camera for his school newspaper. -- Walt On 10/23/2010 6:41 PM, Brendan MacRae wrote: Well, I know it's been a while since I've posted anything but holy crap!

Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
Great lens as well. Funny E-10 story: a woman in my department would try to use this camera periodically. She was one of these extremely intelligent, ultra competent people, but she could never get the E10 to to work properly. One day I'm going through thee whole process with her. She aims thee camera and hits the shutter release. Smoke starts to come out from under the flash. I was sure the camera was toast, but it still works fine to this day. My friend bought a sketch pad. ;-). Actually, she later left chemistry and became on of those folks who sails expensive sailboats from point A to B for the rich owners that didn't have time. The most common trip was from the US to the Mediterranean and back. As I said, an amazing person.

Re: WTF? was OT: new camera
On 24/10/10, Rob Studdert, discombobulated, unleashed: Me too I guess (excepting Canon DSLRs of course ;-) Interesting. Is it the name, the heritage, what? Just curious. After shooting Pentax film for over 10 years, when I got a D60 I wasn't at all enamored with it - it was plasticky and felt a bit cheap. The brand didn't bother me because - let's face it - anyone shooting Pentax doesn't give a stuff about branding. But when I got a 1D mark II it was such a pleasure to use - the layouts of the controls are pretty unconventional, yet once learned were faster than anything I can recall. The actual design of the camera is ergonomically pleasing, and (at the risk of making Godders wince) actually beautiful. Really like it. Seriously - I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the 1D as an object is right up there with an Aston Martin in my eyes. I would imagine that most mid-range cameras aren't to my liking - Canon, Nikon or Pentax - except the K7 that i saw at GFM was really nice - and would definitely consider one (or K5) as the design and ergonomics looked great. So what is the big thing about hating a Canon? -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche -- http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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.

The E-10 was a satyrical delight, photographically speaking. It was such a solid camera and a pleasure to use.
