Have you ever noticed that the more money someone has invested in photo gear, the more likely they are to say "It's not the camera, it's the photographer"?
So, if it's not the camera, now that K-3 prices have dropped a bit, why do I want a K-3 so badly? It's not like I'll get any better photos. Seriously though, I really am planning on waiting to see what the next thing they have in store is before committing. On the subject of spending money on gear, I ended up returning my 13" macbook pro. It turns out that the screen was just too small for comfortably editing photos. It turns out that there are three versions of the 15" available (at least refurbbed). 1) The retina screen is the only one available at stores. You lose a firewire port, but gain a second thunderbolt port. You lose the optical drive and get an HDMI port. The big drawback, other than cost, is that the memory is soldered in, so you pay the apple tax on RAM, since you can't upgrade on your own. 2) Low res 1440x900 pixels 3) High res 1680x1050, this seems to be the one to get, but the inexpensive ones seem to be gone from the apple store as of today, all of the ones left charge the apple tax on memory and drive. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- 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.
