Hello!!
I love this forum, everyone is really nice and the reviews are quite helpful. I've been reading this forum for quite a long time, but never registered because I shoot with Canon. Well, after a long time of thought [and savings] I finally made the jump and "switched" to Pentax. I say it like that because I'm keeping my Canon, and my plan is to have both systems. Why? Because there's no FF in Pentax, and I want one in the long run, so it will be Canon unless the rumours are true and Pentax delivers. Still, my Canon has sentimental/historic value for me, so even if I go full-frame on Pentax, I'm keeping my old camera anyway ^__^
I'm diving in to Pentax with the K-01 + the 40mm lens and 2 old manual lenses, and when I have more and better glass [and cash] I'll get a K-5 IIs.. or K-5 IIIs [K-3?] if it's already out by the time I'm able to purchase it!!
I chose the K-01 because it was the best camera for the money I could get to build a K mount lens collection until I could upgrade the body, but also because I fell in love with it; the design, the idea.. everything. I know it's far from ideal [VIEWFINDEEEEERRRR], but I do think it's a marvellous camera.
I'm also interested in the Q7 but 3 things are holding me back [as if I could buy it right now haha]: 1, that an updated model must be coming shortly like the Q and Q10; 2, the money; and 3, the Fuji X20.
Aaand Pentax is also winking at me with the WG-3. So yeah, it was about time I officially joined PF =D
So hello to everyone here, from México!
Note: It should be noted that I am cheating a little bit, because although I technically do own a K-01, it still has not arrived yet =[
It's in the post office and they'll deliver it to me until Monday ¬__¬
