Yo Cam!
Don't let the bastards grind you down <VBG>
Actually you made 2 mistakes, cos as well as not getting a DSLR for 2
years while you were hiding under a barrel, you then went and got a
Pentax!
<grinning, ruinning, diving>
Having played with my mother-in-law's Rebel XT, with her $85.00 battery
packs (2 AA's stitched together with a piece of plastic) I'm glad I
did. Even with her battery grip, she can only fit 6 AA's - the *ist D
fits 8. And the distortion on her IS lenses is amazing - her Taj Mahal
shots look like the building was designed by Picasso. Nice and sharp in
the centre, though...
If it doesn't FLARE!
Oh, yeah, and did I mention that her camera crashes with the battery
grip on - a lot! Even with a good card in it, and fresh batteries. Just
plain locks up solid - have to reboot all the time; it'd drive me
batty.
My friend Gary bought a Nikon D70 and his battery packs are $100.00...
no grip available... well! His new lens just died, as well... the 18-70
kit lens thing... grinding noises, won't zoom... 2 months old. Gone to
Nikon for fixing.
At least you've got some decent glass on your franken-thingy... too bad
you're too old to hold it steady!
Nyuk, nyuk.
