Stay tuned for the upcoming "I sold all the Canon gear because after careful scrutiny, it didn't add anything meaningful to the party considering the size/weight/cost penalties..." video.
Or another title could be: "The Pentax K-5 IIs just really is THAT good." (For what I need/do.)
A few tidbits, my apparent southernly neighbor. Since yesterday, I confirmed that you are who I suspected you are. Few can
YouTube Pentax and not run across your vids. I've watched and enjoyed several. I have no real criticisms-don't forget the huge contingent of "photographers" (both pro and AM) who view camera as fashion accessory. OMG, Becky....Look....at....the....V2's butt......
Like totally. What's the old saying....don't bitc* unless you have a solution to offer.......
I'm not being random. We don't know what kind of person is going to level criticism our way. Blow it off, walk away.
I noted with (wait! Tangent alert!) some more- than- passing- interest your vid on debt slavery. Right in line, Baby! Don't care about Ramsey. Don't need a guru telling me it isn't polite to fart in church.
The wake-up to the concept of slavery is a real face slapper, huh? See, I'm out of the woods, too. I just went through the decision bracket to see if I would benefit from going over (more) to the Dark Side, but ....... /.......and the point is that this auto mechanic can afford a D800 if'n he so chooses. Yeah, having the money as a result of personal awareness and discipline is the way to shake it. I consider my possibilities 'cuz I can. I worked hard to get here, too. I'm 41. I did it, and can buy hard into my hobbie. Sweet Lord, I may just travel!
As for a D800 (or others). No. I agree with your approach to needs and benefits of what the K5/ii/iis hold. Pentax may not offer 10 camera lines, but they don't seem to hold back on what they put into what IS offered.
I'm a horrible typist. You've no idea how long it took to write this somewhat incoherent post.
Back on topic- the decision flow chart leads to Pentax. Simple logic, but a person needs to know and understand RESOLUTION. "Meh- it's all relative!" Once the average Jose "gets" resolution, the rest of the decision falls into place. Super simple Simon. Hey, I gotta go. We got up late from catting about at the opera last night. Now the gurlz iz hammering me with the BAD kind of techno. I like it better when they sleep. Besides, I suppose I should get to canning some meatballs.
Oh, that IS relevant. Home Economics is tied at the hip to debt slavery.....its that slavery that keeps the haters complaining about the cost of gear. mmmmmmmm. canning meatballs.
Got a 50-500 OS coming this week. Wish me luck. It's rabbit season. It's duck season.
It's airshow season. Oh, baby! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hypervel/
