I finally found a film replacement, and I can still use my 20 year old glass as well as Digital lenses.
I have been using Pentax cameras for a very long time and have always found them a pleasure to use. For the price ( I paid $1700 with Lens and 4 G card the month it was released) it has been my constant companion. Are there any thing I don't like ? Not really but there are acouple of thing I have noticed.
1.Invest in a good sholder strap the supplied one is ok for short walks, it gets heavy.
2.Learn the menu system as some of the nice functions are a liitle hidden.
3.read the manual, several times, and then cross reference the page references to the functions like the green button, as it does several things depending what mode you are in.
4.Battery life is great but it when it says it is running down about 1/2 way - charge it up !
5.ISO 3200 is a bit grainy - no biggy for me , I like the effect
. All in all a very solid camera.
