I'm doing my part: A few months ago, my good friend Dave was shopping for a DSLR. I recommended he looked into a DS or DS2 because of the viewfinder. I also said that whatever he bought, to try to look through the cameras side by side.
Despite all that, he went with a Canon 350D and the kit lens, whatever it is. Today he wrote saying that night photography with that is impossible. The camera is impossible to focus, either in auto or manual. He seemed really frustrated. I showed him a link to the K10D in dpreview, and told him it has a real viewfinder and SR. He's drooling right now, and will probably get one when it comes out. Pentax seems to be the only manufacturer getting it regarding viewfinders. Why use an SLR if the vf is small and dim? It completely defeats the purpose, IMO. I'm still waiting for the DSLR with an aps sensor but a full frame vf, and framing lines. It doesn't seem it would be so hard or expensive for them to put a ZX5's viewfinder into a K100d, no? j -- Juan Buhler - http://www.jbuhler.com photoblog: http://photoblog.jbuhler.com a book: http://www.jbuhler.com/book.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
