Do you think 9400 clicks is above or below average for a camera of this age? Difficult I know but then again how many clicks is a K100 good for? jeff

Well after spending all my sparetime crashing about on the Mac looking at Ebay, LCE, SRS etc, I think I may have found my Camera.
A K100 with all the bits it came with !8- 55 lens cables, software and 6 months waranty 9400 clicks £199. It came out better than the *istL2 in reviews, what do you think for a first digital on a low buget? your thoughts Jeff

Many thanks. To get such a well imformed response so swiftly is great .
with the SMC lenses that I got with my MZ30 plus the bag of manual lenses that have turned up over the years my old favorite Takumar etc used with my old MX
I think buying a used body is my best option.
However buying a used camera on line is not easy so I might have to hang on till I get some work back in the UK. Or get someone to hunt around for me.
Thanks again Jeff

Forgive me if this is a stupid question
I'm toying with the idea of buying a digital SLR and as ever trying not to break the bank,will the lenses I use on my MZ30 28-80 80-320 fit and work normally .
Or will all my old kit end up in the back of the cupboard never to see the light of day again PS anyone got a cheep slr body for sale Jeff

I've not long had my K100D, my first digital SLR, and I'm just starting to work out what it can do. I took this the other day in 'sunset' mode, just as the light was fading and the rain clouds were piling up over the hills. I didn't tweak it in any way in iPhoto. If anything the colours are more muted than the original.
Hope you like it
