My girlfriend now uses a Pentax *istD (just like mine - so many good reasons to have identical bodies - of cameras, that is). Previously she had an Oly P&S that she grew out of - her abilities were way beyond what the camera could give her, the electronic LCD/viewfinder and controls defaulting to auto each time the camera was turned on being the major operational culprits, lousy picture quality being the other. She'd never used a DSLR before, and all I said was "make sure everything's set to green" and she's had no problems since. She's gradually learning to over-ride things a bit at a time, but being able to "use it right out of the box" was a tremendous advantage. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- 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.
