That's not what I want. My point is that the Vette is a fairly expensive car, just as the K-5 is a fairly expensive camera. However, it outperforms cars that cost quite a bit more than it does, and for that matter, the vast majority of people who own one. Feel free to draw any analogies to cameras that you care to.
So? If a Corvette is what you want, buy one. If the K-5 is what you want, buy one. If a Ferrari, Lamborgini, Model T Ford, time traveling DeLorean or a John Deere tractor is the vehicle FOR YOU, buy one. However wonderful you think any or all of these things may be, they are not what I want, so they're not worth one single dollar out of my pocket. Your opinion is noted. It ain't what I want. Why can't you understand that when I'm going to buy something, I get to decide whether that something is worth the price?
What, specifically, are you looking for in a DSLR? Other than that it costs less than $800? In bright light it's pretty hard to see any effective difference in image quality of just about any DSLR this side of the K100.
What I want is to buy a camera (if/when one ever comes along) that offers me sufficient improvement over what I have now to be worth the price - whatever that price might be. I hope that camera will be offered by Pentax. K-5 ain't it. -- 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.
