No such luck on the Pentax P&S. I went through four Optio series cameras. All wore out due to small broken parts except the OptioMX and they are too cheap to fix. Or should I say it's too expensive to fix them. The optioMX is cool in an odd sort of way, but the image quality, good for it's day, isn't all that great. Even if it dies, I'll keep it around. With it's odd shape it may be a collectors item. I had a lot of fun with that camera.
This photo was shot with an "old" Canon S90. They've come out with two or three improved versions since I bought it, but this one seems to do well most of the time. When you're in extreme conditions like the dance recital you can't enlarge the photo much. The grain at 1600 or above is the size of small pebbles. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 9:09 AM, Bruce Walker <[email protected]> wrote: > Was it at least a Pentax P&S? :-) Did you happen to notice what the > "pros" were using? > > Enjoyed the blather, George.
