I made the plunge earlier this year and purchased the Pentax K100D Super. I also bought the Pentax 75-300 for zoom. This was the camera recommended to me at the camera shop I purchased it at. I felt I got a good deal. I received $50 dollars off the day of purchase and $100 mail in rebate, then he also gave me $20 off the 75-300. I haven't strayed away from shooting in Auto for indoors and Program mostly outdoors. But maybe having found this site I can learn more. Another small DSLR Hobby forum I belong to, everyone has a cannon and Photoshop Elements or CS3 for post processing. I only have Paint Shop Pro 9, so I haven't really done any post processing on any photos I've taken. I would like to learn from other Pentax users. I photograph mostly my own kids. I don't have any studio type stuff for Portrait style pictures, so I do alot of snapshot photos. If anyone has any useful info for me, that would be great. Or if you care to chat via Yahoo I am on there quite a bit. I look forward to wondering around here and getting to know you. This is my very first post
I also was wondering what batteries you recommend for the best life(AA). Thanks so much.
