yes. I think part of what's going on is that you're just getting over the honeymoon period with a new camera body and some of its idiosyncracies are becoming apparent to you. I know that for the first six months I used the K10D, it seemed to be about as flawless as I could hope for. Now that I'm used to its performance and capabilities, every little niggle it might have is immediately apparent when I go to use it. And particularly since I have two other cameras now, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, that I've used a lot too. Picking any one of them up now reminds me of how it differs from the last one I used, each with its own special joy and particular annoyance. Things that I don't remember the K10D doing I find by looking at photos I took with it 11 months ago ... yes, it did that all along. I was simply not seeing it. And so forth. Imperfect tools, imperfect perceptions... but by and large all the kit I have works well enough that I'm the weak link in the system. ;-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
