But she surprised me and said she's willing to spend a little more money, and wants something new. It isn't immediately obvious to me that I should recommend Pentax. Would you? Here goes: I know a good reason for choosing Pentax. Some Pentax cameras are very beautiful designed (MZ-3 with limited lens!) and they are simple to use (P&S ability) if you don't know anything about photography. I have met girls whith a camera, who didn't know anything about ASA, EV, shutterspeed, aperture, DOF etc. (and guys as well for that matter). I remember one girl who had a MZ-5n. She just loved it. She was an educated person (engineer) but without any knowledge about photography. She wouldn't dream of showing up with a P&S camera. But this one is a beautiful (talking about the camera), high quality SLR. Anybody can use it. I believe girls do like Pentax! I'm sure this will stir up a long thread about sexism etc. That's quite allright with me guys. Go ahead... Jens - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
