Originally posted by normhead Damn fine seeing you again Ira... when I got active here, you were one of my role models ( don't mention that, a lot of people here will blame you for that , not give you credit) , I was just wondering what happened to you the other day, ... too bad you lost all your "likes"... as I recall you had over 200...
If you can find a K-01, I picked one up for around $300 and it's supposed to be a real movie machine... although i use mine for landscapes, where I'm perched on a cliff an it's easier ti see the Live View than it is to get your eye into the eye piece.
As for movies, I know nothing, I used to teach it but with dedicate cameras that record onto tape., In retirement, sitting in front of an editor for hours to make a 15 minute clip that people watch once then discard just isn't a way I like to spend my time.
Good luck in your efforts.
WHAT'S HAPPENING!?
Thanks for the welcome back, and your nice words.
I'm still a Pentax guy through and through, and want to get into video to get my juices going again. Plus, with all my classic M42 lenses, I figure I can really get some nice feels to my clips.

PS I understand your financial problems extremely well. My dad is 50 now and unemployed. Good one for getting a job again

You can't do anything for the movie mode in k-x at all. Are you sure those K-5 controls work for movie mode?
I'm more than ready to buy another body, even if it's used and not the latest and greatest.
