Rappie Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm feeling all alone :laugh: I browse a lot of forums and blogs (DOL, horse, craft, photography, computer) and (mass generalisation coming) EVERYONE has a Canon. Or a Nikon. *Sniff*. I'll just sit here in the corner and hug my little trusty istD and my 35mm macro and wear the bright red Pentax neck strap with pride. Anyone out there??

Rappie Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) *strokes her canon*My precious... Canon is what all the cool kids are using nowadays. Guess that's my problem then isn't it. My idea of a good time is sitting a home watching Star Trek, drinking a cup of nanny tea (Earl Grey) and eating bickies. Hey, Captain Picard drinks Earl Grey, he's cool, right? Persephone.....my point & shoot is a (very old) Pentax too The istD was born in 2003 Those in "the know" use Pentax (K200 DSLR) Hells yeah. We're awesome (OH has a K200D).

RMY Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oh gosh, I know the feeling! All of my friends have Canon or Nikon, but a photog friend recommended we get our Pentax as beginners... We have the K100D Super. Always laugh at the "Super" - still not sure what is the super bit? Could read my manual, hey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I did a poll a year or so ago asking what camera people had, I think Canon came out on top, I wonder if it's still around. Probably been deleted by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Rappie I'm mainly a Nikon girl, but no prejudices, I've had most camera brands over the years (including a Hassalblad, all hail). I have a good Pentax SLR and often think of getting a DSLR body so that I can use the lens. Pentax lenses are lovely, and many of the oldies can still be used on the DSLRs (unlike many older Nikon/Canon SLR lenses) so they hold their value well and are fairly sought after. I goofed big-time at the weekend, picked up a Nikon SLR lens and put it on a DSLR body: wouldn't auto-focus, and the shutter jammed a couple of times. Luckily had another body/lens packed in the bag and didn't lose much work, but could have been a better day. And a corner of my mind was thinking, bummer, wouldn't have been a problem with a Pentax.

Well I won't comment on your taste in cameras, but will say you have excellent taste in "viewing". We are watching the whole 7 series, bit by bite - currently half way thorugh season 6 Not sure what we'll do when it's all gone And it's "Tea, Earl Grey, hot".

You can use the old canon EOS lenses on the new bodies... And I must admit Rappie - I'm a Data fan too. I cried in nemesis. I'm a bigger Riker/Troi fan though. I'm a nerd.
