You have not been listening to me or cant comphrend my posts or have some other deficiency I wont mention. I have already publically stated more than once that I would not "not" buy a Pentax digital slr ONLY because it did not fully support K/M lenses. My posts on that topic were always about how stupid it is that they dont for such a tiny cost savings realized and how I dont like to buy any product that pisses me off for skimping on a feature that I really want or need with nearly no cost savings compared to the price of the product. Even so, its not the only reason for not buying one (yet).
Secondly, the enire point of all these HDTV posts is that I made all these statements based on the tremendous usage the ***average person*** gets out of any TV is what makes them a steal and the fact that you cannot get the same peformance out of any older analog TV. I can and do get HIGHER imaging peformance out of my old MF and LF cameras than even the best Pentax (APS) DSLR available. So the main reason I have not bought one, is there isnt much reason to for better image quality for me like there is main reason to upgrade to HD from analog TV. This is consistant position on both HD and Camera matters, i.e. I have the better picture quality format(s)on both. Secondly, I dont see how anybody can be affording new DSLR bodies and lenses ( I can too, but havent bought one, but I dont say I cant afford one because I know I can like some of these HD doubters are saying ) and then say that HD is just too expensive for them. I guess what I am saying is the things you spend the most time doing in your short life are the most important things to do with maximum enjoyment. I dont know anyone, including myself, who spends more time using a camera or a DSLR than watching TV/Home video/Home theater. ( excepting maybe full time pro photographers). I put my money where it does the most benefit. You can't just look at price tags. To determine the value of any product, you have to look at total usage & benefits gained too. I would gain very little buy buying a DSLR compared to what I already have, a gained a whole lot buy buying a HDTV instead of my old analog tvs. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom C Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 7:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Please everyone set up an email filter Why would you insist on not having a digital SLR camera body if it's missing an aperture simulator and why would you stick with lenses w/o an A-setting and that don't have full functionality on newer Pentax bodies when the new lenses are designed to function with the new bodies? Plenty of other people have accepted the change and made the switch...
