Where's the "only own Pentax" option?

Although, technically, I've got an antique Kodak DC-120 (and don't ask what this cost in 1997!) and an almost-as-old Konika P&S, although I don't think either are active in making (serious) digicameras any more (?)
I had assumed all here are Pentax owners, hence no need to put that option. Pentax only owners would not need to vote.. if that makes sense?

Somehow doubt it can match the fact that I usually get about six months and 600-700 images from a set of Energiser Lithium AAs in my K-m. With that longevity why would I bother with rechargables?

All DSLRs can be as simple or as complex as you want. Even the Sony full frame models (can't comment on Canikon as I haven't held one) have a green mode.

Yes, that makes sense - only downside is I can't see the results of the votes (that's a fault of the forum software, as is not being able to multiple vote - both of which may be fixable, but I've admin'ed enough foruii in the past to know how a "simple" tweak often isn't!)
Still shooting in the dark (literally and metaphorically)...

I have a Canon 4MP compact that is badly in need of upgrading but it takes superb pictures for Ebay .. and so much easier than digging out the DSLR .. attaching a lens.. etc etc.

Like i-berg, I have a Panasonic LX3 and fully agree it's a great little camera.

I also have an old Canon Power Shot S70 whiich I occasionally use underwater with Dicapac underwater casing. Image quality (from RAW) is just acceptable, but shooting underwater can be very interesting. I wish proper underwater housing (for the K20D or LX3) wasn't so expensive.

When I shot film I had an OM1 which is still fine, but so limited in function and results compared to the K20 (as you would expect with thirty years between them).

I also have a Panasonic LX3 which I think is a fantastic little camera.

I also have a Panasonic - but in my case an LC1 - a badge-engineered Leica Digilux 2 (or it could have been the other way around!) with "only" 5MP but a superb 28-90 f2-2.4 lens that outguns any compact I've used since, and a fair number of SLR lenses too. It will be a very sad day when it eventually dies.

No prizes for guessing who the one person who voted for "large format" was. I also have four Canons, three d/SLRs used on the dig and my P&S bought for me by my lady love.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It's amazing how many are owning up to owning canon DSLRs.

The impression I have from playing with anything below a %0d is of poor feel and build quality, That's only my impression before anybody starts a war here!!!

In my cupboard is a pile of cameras, nearly all work and those that do have had film through them to make sure everything's OK.

Current favourites are the MX and K110d for manual and MZ-6 and K200d for autofocus.

The XAs are brilliant for slipping into a pocket and doing a bit of 'street' stuff.

Oh yes, there's a P&S canon in there as well, it works but the zoom is noisy and slow. We've had it from new, it was the only option at the time.
Cheers, HG
