So, I haven't been on here for awhile, so I feel I need to re-introduce myself. I have continued using and enjoying my k20d and K2000, but I finally decided to sell both and am getting the Pentax K-7 tomorrow, and I'm totally stoked! I can't wait to get involved again with discussions with you great people about this camera, and the PENTAX experience in general. Sorry about my absence...hope noone missed me too badly.

You've been missing?

If I'd know I would have called the cops and started a search!

Welcome back and enjoy your new K7
Cheers, HG

Thanks! Have only been really INTO Pentax, or photography for that matter, in the last year and a half or so. Now with the K7 I feel there are no limits! Except, better lenses!

Interesting, your line of work,my daughter is a "cop" - Field Intelligence officer with the Metropolitan Police in a small undercover squad checking out the Olympic site for the next couple of years up to the 2012 Games.She is a great photographer and is off on a 2 week course starting next Monday to retrain on covert surveillance and camera work - should be a gas.
Sadly they seem to use C*non cameras but I will be expecting an update pretty soon.
She has a Pentax ES11 and an MZ50 , but these days seems to prefer her ipod,Fuji S7000 ( from mom ) and a C*non A710 IS whatever that is !
Sorry about Boise,my bro-in-law is from Washington ( now in Toronto )and we have great banter about the USA and photography ( he studied with Ansell Adams for a while ).Take care out there and again - welcome back

Thanks Tony! Being a cop is interesting work, to say the least. To be specific, am technically a field investigator (detective). But still to get to wear cool uniform! haha And it was in my line of work where I got interested in photography. Sadly, my department uses Canon cameras as well. What is the world coming to????
