Har!
Nope, we didn't make the bicycle trip - got busy having more babies
instead!
Added two more to the tribe since I was last on the list, so that
makes five
now...
Oh, and I remarried too - hence the name "Tanya LOVE" - that is my
real
name, and we aptly call our home the "LoveShack"! lol.
Last year was a really crappy, crappy year from us, we have a new
business,
Ankle Biters, an online and physical store with eco/organic products
for
kids and babies and we managed to get ourselves ripped off to the
tune of
$42k. LONG story, but basically, we are broke and 2009 sucked
majorly, but
we have themed 2010 as our "year of recovery" so that the annus
horribulus
(sic) that was 2009 can go take a hike!
Oh yeah, did anyone know that I "retired" from photography? That
was back
in late 2006, when I popped out baby #4, Zali.
Well, it seems that fate has other plans, and now I'm back at it
again. No
more weddings for me though, in my last year as a wedding photog. I
dealt
with about
79 Bridezillas, and that was enough to scare me off for life!
Now, it's commercial photography all the way baby! Hehe. Still
kids and
babies (someone would think I was clucky or something!) but kids and
babies
PRODUCT
Photography is my calling for now.
I rejoined cause I was hanging out to know which of you rich old
farts have
got yourselves a K-7?? Me thinks me needs one.... Oh, did I mention
that I
am STILL using my
Trusty old starkist?!? I think I've clocked the speedo about 10
times now,
just clicked over another 10k the other day. It has a crack in the
preview
screen from one too
many dives on the bitumen, but apart from that, she's still going
strong!
So, where is the cheapest place to get my hands on a K-7 at
present? And
what is the general consensus on it in comparison with the K20D? I
am sure
that this has been discussed to death a gazillion times over but I'm
too
lazy to go through all the archives, jeez you guys can talk! The
K20D is
going for aud$899 at Ted's Camera House here in BrisVegas right now,
which
looks the best deal I've found so far, so do you think it would be
worth the
extra $500 for the K7? Me being me and as hard as I am on my gear
and all,
was thinking that the weather proofing of the K7 might be a good
little
insurance policy to have...
So, what have I missed? Just checked out the 2008 Photobook and I
see that
you guys STILL haven't gotten over your fixation for bloody
cormorants and
hmmm, Grandfather Mountain! Some familiar scenes there!
Hi Tanya,
I've been shooting with K7 for almost six months now, and I've
clocked 9950 exposures. I love it. The K20D was nice, but the K7 is a
major improvement. First on my list of pluses would be far better
exposure metering. It's very accurate and delivers repeatable results
-- something my K20D could never quite achieve. The autofocus is
noticeably faster, particularly on moving objects. That's also a huge
plus for me. And the increased frame rate is a big help for a lot of
what I shoot: moving vehicles, sports, etc. With that comes faster
write speed, which cuts down on waiting until mr. camera is ready to
work. Heck, I can't remember ever having to wait with the K7. With the
K20D, when I shot a series of autobracket exposures, I'd stand there
waiting for the ready light to come back on. The battery life is much
better. Even without the grip you can get around 1000 RAW exposures. I
have a grip installed and always shoot with two batteries. I've never
come close to exhausting them, even in a long day of continuous
shooting. Finally, the build quality is superb. The camera is a little
tank.
