One way Nikon users are better than Pentaxians...

Saw this today and it reminded me of all the pre-K20D hype. while it may not have a National Geographic button, it does have an iPod!

Well, I got quite a shock reading those specifications...

I'm sure it would be useless for wildlife work. Having to shout "Clear" every time you released the shutter would not be so good. I thus predict the immanent demise of Nikon.

I have an adapter to the grip on my K10D which I use to plug in those old game cartridges from an Atari 2600 I had from childhood, and relive those old memories on the K10D's LCD screen. The 4 way keys and OK button double up as a joystick, and I can play away during all those boring weddings I'm waiting for the preacher to finish his long sermons.

Beat that Nikon...

And that uVR system literally sends shivers up my spine... how would you feel after a big assignment? anyone for rhabdomyolysis?

my pentax K3X turns into a hooker at the press of a button.

but what if we can add............

the eye recognition that canon put into cameras a few years back, and make it an Idiot Recognition System. That would greatly reduce teh canikon user population
