Yes it is.:-). Being used to Nikon i don't find the UI that complicated. Having said that i have run the gamete from the D1, no menus, to the D1H, some menus, the D2H, full scale menus but stuff not hard to find, to the D200, similar to D2H menus, which seemed to make the move to the Pentax digital menus a lot smoother. I still say Nikon's flash work is much easier to work with than our Pentax versions, but its getting better. What i do feel for are those that have no experience with film slr's jumping into the Dslr game, like my nephew. It seems very confusing to them. Luckily he has an uncle that can work through these menus.::-) Dave > > -- > Science - Questions we may never find answers for. > Religion - Answers we must never question. > > > -- > 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. -- Documenting Life in Rural Ontario. www.caughtinmotion.com http://brooksinthecountry.blogspot.com/ York Region, Ontario, Canada -- 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.
