Subject: The best modern camera for the child who likes to shoot
Hi!
Like I wrote to Tom on the other thread, Galia is complaining a bit about
AF of her K10D. I could, in principle, proceed towards spending our time
together whereas I'd be telling her about the way AF is supposed to be
used, etc. This can prove beneficial to her to some extent.
The alternative is to get her a different set of gear which may or may not
be a good idea. Suppose for a moment it is a /good/ idea.
What would you suggest? Please let us not limit this conversation to
Pentax only. Galia's kit is K10D, DA 21/3.2, FA 50/1.4 and FA 100/3.5
whereas she always is asked to select a single lens before the shoot and
she puts all her three lenses is fair use. As an example of what I have in
mind I'd suggest this: Panasonic GF1 or GH2 or whatever, freshly announced
14/2.5 for wide angle, 20/1.4 for normal and 45/2.8 macro for, well,
macro.
Ideally I'd like to keep this discussion on target. That is there is no
need whatsoever to compare brands here. I'd simply like to know how would
you approach this issue.
The obvious answer would be the K7. It's AF and exposure are greatly
improved, and you already have a lens kit to go along with it. It's also
smaller and hopefully lighter than the K10.
Or drop a bunch of money on a different brand that will also show
performance flaws in a few years when it's had a couple of generations of
improvement superseding it.
