I guess, I don't have that personal brand loyalty (short of owning 1 SLR (+1 my wife's), 2 DSLRs, 8 lenses (including 2 TCs), and 3 3rd-party lenses with the k-mount), - I never purchased any P&S from Pentax. Every time I was looking for one, - the Pentax model fell short either on features/func

Thanks. I took a look. I would almost take a chance at that price but based on the overwhelming negative feedback, I decided I would not reward them based on prinicple. Tom On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 9:30 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: > > I have doubts if I should post this, - but it might be useful to

Thanks Bong That's a good point about the weather sealing. The shutter actuates when it comes on? So when the camera is off or asleep, the shutter is closed? Interesting, because the M4/3 cameras leave the shutter open when it is off. D On 15/11/2012 7:23 PM, Bong Manayon wrote: On Thu, No
