Well, 'they' in this instance includes me. I have a 14 analogue set. No cable, no satellite, not even an aerial, and the picture is rubbish. I don't care. I've got better things to do with my time and money. You can believe that or not, but it is a fact, not an opinion and your disbelief is no cause to keep banging on about it.

O'Connell Sent: 19 December 2006 23:30 To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List' Subject: RE: Please everyone set up an email filter I will respond to one thing, and its not to win its on the topic. I have already stated this about 10 times, these sets are now CHEAPER than they were 10 years ago with way better picture quality which give you ( I think I forgot to mention this) way better VIEWING EXPERIENCE. I remember when I first started viewing really good HD sources, that now only was the the picture better than I expected, it was better than I could even imagined was possible. That was my first impression of it all. Secondly, you get fairly easily get a whole bunch of HDTV feeds for no monthly fee at all by buying a good antenna for around $100. As for the stupid comments I didnt say anyone was stupid, I asked the question, WHY would you stick with analog when you can now get something much much better for very low cost? Its like sticking with dialup even after DSL came way down in price, or sticking with an old PC just because it still works. If the new product is cheap enough to be affordable, who cares if its 100 times the price of the old one if it does things the old one cant? NTSC cant do for you what HD can. Trust me on this, the difference is not subtle and I am not talking about specs, I am talking about the difference in the viewing experence. I not only wouldnt watch an old analog NTSC set even if you gave me the best one ever made and for free. that means HD would be infinately more costly, but it not the cost factor that counts, its the entertainment value that counts. jco -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cory Papenfuss Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 5:19 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: Please everyone set up an email filter On Tue, 19 Dec 2006, J.

It's far more advantageous to get the colour balance correct using the RAW convertor as the data is still linear, after RAW conversion gamma factors have been applied which make colour adjustment far more tricky.

RE: *ist DS selling price
Kostas Kavoussanakis wrote: I sure hope so for all you, boys and girls, but I would not deduct any conclusions from sales made on the 19th of Dec. Following the posts last week on my boxed unused *ist D, I decided to watch a few eBay auctions and then put it up as a buy it now, when I got a feel for the prices they achieved. I expected more positive prices this side of Xmas but the selling prices left me disappointed. I've therefore decided to keep it, prices after Xmas will surely be worse. It's a matter of changing my view on how I think about digital cameras. I suppose I am so used to buying a second hand film camera, using it for a few years and selling it on at more or less the same price as I bought it, that it stings. If I view it the same way as a computer, washing machine or similar domestic appliance purchase, I accept from the outset that it's expensive but will ultimately be an item for recycling. Once you accept that's where digital cameras now fit in in the scheme of things, you can settle back and accept it - and enjoy them. So that's what I plan to do and I now have a new camera for Xmas. The K10D will have to sit on the shopping list a little longer! I hope you all have a peaceful Xmas.

Re: Please everyone set up an email filter
Hi Paul, I have some older Calphalon pots and pans, and have been very happy with them. I also use cast iron - great for some cooking tasks. Frankly, I've been vacillating between the non-stick and the Calphalon hard anodized, but I also want a non-stick skillet for certain tasks, and thought I'd go with the All-Clad or the Calphalon for that. I've not yet carefully examined the Calphalon, although a friend has a 14 non-stick skillet and swears by it. BTW, if you've not used All-Clad, you might five it a try. Great stuff, but, like all good cookware, a bit on the spendy side. A couple of days ago, while at Slur la Table, I saw their private brand, which is much less expensive than All-Clad or Calphalon, and it looks and feels pretty good. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation. I'll be making a purchase after Christmas - can't stand the lines right now Shel [Original Message] From: Paul Stenquist [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List pdml@pdml.net Date: 12/19/2006 7:57:29 PM Subject: Re: Please everyone set up an email filter Hi Shel, I'd recommend the Calphalon hard anodized over any pan with a non- stick coating.

I find them about equal in viewfinder quality, with a slight edge to the Nikon. The K10D viewfinder is slightly better than the *ist DS and on par with or better than the Nikon D200 as far as I can tell. I have only just looked through a D80 once and didn't feel that it was any better than the *ist DS. The K-M 7D also had a very good viewfinder, to my eye it and the *ist DS were on par.
