Dave, When I was considering the K-x, one thing that I did was finally buy from a source I could return if necessary. I bought it far enough in advance of the needed venue, that I could really get used to it. Since it was returnable, I was able to verify the capability for my purposes. Obviously, I kept it.
What I can tell you is the high ISO is good enough that much of my learning for the past 30+ years has to be rethought. I have been so used to lower light and flash issues, that it has taken me a bit of time to get past that. Just two nights ago, I was asked at the last moment to run over to the Junior High and take photos of an event involving the band and a local adult symphony. Previous to the K-x, I would have loaded up my flash and tried to get ready for lots of flash work. I did take the flash along, but ended up not using it at all. I took about 100 pics of all sorts with smaller groups in individual rooms to the entire group performing together. The flash just wasn't needed. I am still getting my head around this - truly a different paradigm than we have thought about in the past. I daresay that this is going to become the norm, as I believe all cameras are going to get better and better at this. -- Best regards, Bruce Thursday, March 25, 2010, 8:14:42 AM, you wrote: DJB> On Thu, Mar 25, 2010 at 11:11 AM, Bong Manayon <[email protected]> wrote: >> Ditto. >> >> I have not really gotten a hang of manually selecting the focusing >> points but have quickly adapted to the 5/11 options; it actually >> reminds me of the MZ-5n/MZ-3 'wide'/'narrow' AF options. >> >> Bong >> DJB> Thank you DJB> Dave DJB> -- DJB> Documenting Life in Rural Ontario.
