Works for me... oh yeah, you didn't see this. :)  Sheesh.

At this point, I don't care if your offensiveness is intentional, or if it just comes naturally to you.

>>>What am I drinking???

If you can't see that as a bit of an insult in itself, I won't waste my time trying to explain it to you. Perhaps you think you're trying to be "humorous". If so, it isn't working very well, and calling me "kind sir" after insinuating that I'm under the influence of some debilitating substance doesn't erase the petty insult.

Welcome to the kill file.

Why aren't you learning not to presume what my habits are? I don't make a habit of speaking for you, and I would appreciate it if you didn't speak for me.

later,
Glen

Oh Brother! ;-)

Well since you're bass-ackward, why aren't you out there buying up all that great glass? :-)

Hi Tom,

What now? Where is my existing collection of lenses that work on the Pentax mount?! I could really put those to good use about now. You see, I was purely a Nikon user before buying the *istDS, NOT a Pentax user. :)

I actually jumped from Nikon to Pentax when I went digital. Though I really liked my Nikon gear, I've never had more fun with my photography, than since I bought the Pentax *stDS this past summer. I'm afraid your argument falls flat. ;)


take care,
Glen

You *DO* have an existing collection of lenses that work on the Pentax mount however, whereas he does not.

The new 8MP Rebel acutally felt pretty nice in the hand, much like an *ist D, very unlike the original Rebel D.

Having not released a better camera than the 'D' in almost two years, I used the mindset of "What if I was buying a new DSLR for the first time?".

I would argue that the DS is a "better" camera, simply because of its price. ;)

As for pretending to be a first-time DSLR buyer, I actually was a first-time DSLR buyer this past summer. I looked at the Nikon, Canon, Olympus, and Pentax DSLRs in the price category I could afford, and I chose the Pentax *istDS. I don't think that Pentax and all the Pentax lenses are going to disappear anytime soon. How many centuries do you expect to use a digital camera, anyway? :)

By the time you wear out any of the current DSLRs, the available technology will be totally different. No one really knows who will be making the best system at that future date. I suggest getting something that best fits your needs today and worry about the distant future later.


take care,
Glen
